This is my niece's mail box out in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska. She lives on a farm and the road in front of her house stretches for miles and miles. Sometimes I go to livesearch and look at my friends' and family's houses on satellite photos. It helps me to feel closer to them somehow. Modern technology is cool. But I am also happy to have lived during a time when people wrote letters. I still write to my parents once a month although now my mom is losing her memory and she doesn't always remember that I write. She says, 'I never knew getting old would be like this!' I love my mom. I think I'll sit down and write her a letter....
