I had forgotten all about my old email stash. I go through the email when received, then file the "good" stuff away in mail folders. My eBay and Amazon folders have bid confirmations from 2009. Thanks for the housekeeping reminder CindyA.
I got real mail from my boyfriend after he was drafted and was in boot camp. I saved every letter until the man I married years later found them with my prom pictures and chucked the letters. I remember the smell of the stationery and ink and his really lousy penmanship. I wonder if men still write love letters, or just email them.
