Caroline's 4 year teacher at Chapel Hill is a really neat person, and I have always enjoyed being around her. I pass by her room twice a day 4 days a week to drop Will off at school and pick him up. Several times a week I stop and say hi to Anne. Our favorite topic is books, and both of us really like to read. So, we share tips on good books we've been reading and tell each other what books to stay away from. Recently, our book club read a really good book called Mudbound. I loaned Anne a copy, and when she gave me back the book, there was a sticky note attached to it. I came home and went to throw the sticky note away, but I stopped and didn't do it. I came back to it later, and again, I couldn't throw the note away. The note didn't say anything special at all...it was just a brief thank you for loaning her the book. I realized that in today's world, we don't send each other too many written notes. I think this is a little sad, and I know that I love to give and receive hand written notes. I like to be able to recognize people's handwriting, and I hope my my kids don't grow up in a world where receiving special notes is a lost art. I ended up putting the sticky note from Anne inside the book that I loaned her. I may not reference that note again for a long time, but I know where it is.
