X and O

 Long before computers and email,

long before cell phones and texting and emoji's,

did you write letters?

Did you ever sign your letters with "X's and O's"?

And if you did, what did those letters mean?


"kisses and hugs"

JUNE

  1. Dearest June,
    Yep, I've written thousands of letters as phone calls were way too expensive when we immigrated on August 29 of 1983. No, never ended a ltter with X and O. Guess that is a far later invention.
    Love the photos in those images!
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

  4. Mom used to write so many letters, she loved writing them and getting letters back in return. X and O were always fun to add too.

  9. Hand written letters were so much more personal. Emails are better now because I don't have to worry about my shaky hands!

  16. We don't write letters, June ; we have to depend on the Momster. But we still send you hugs and kisses.
