Kids will be learning handwritting.
I ignored that early training to my own detriment.
I was too busy drawing pictures on the paper to pay attention.
Now I can't read my own handwriting nor can anyone else.

is used everywhere and has such a classy look to it.
5 years ago I took myself off to calligraphy classes with Elinor Holland.
It's not too late to run and sign up if you have a few free Sundays!

And you're making these lovely swoops and swirls.
It's a lot like drawing...

Last trip I fell victim to the Marie Antoinette inkpot here

I hope they pay better attention than I did in handwriting class...
"If only Carol would just pay attention"

The French still love fancy handwriting
And so do I.
