You’ve Got Mail edition – Friendship Quotes

I came up with the idea for this new post series while sorting through old files stored on my external hard drives of old emails I collected. I neither wanted to keep or delete to keep them. I remembered how much fun it was to get daily nuggets of humor or inspiration from friends, so I decided to recirculate the email content and if you have an email subscription to CAAC then it’ll kind of be like sharing these things with you like in those bygone-days.

Today’s contribution was sent from a dear pal, Jackie Bradley, who lives in the UK in January 2000.

The last time I heard from Jackie was Christmas 2020. She and her husband were enjoying retirement in their caravan but due to the world-wide shutdowns found themselves confined to a RV park. I sent her return Christmas greetings then and again the year after but didn’t get a response. I’m not sure what that means but I like to think they are just enjoying their lives.
