Sends a handwritten birthday card to every resident.
Keeps a map of postmarks she's never visited.
Writes herself one letter a year.
What she wants from a newcomer
Someone who still writes by hand.
A long afternoon of stories and tea.
Where she shuts the gate
Won't open a letter.
Doesn't say who writes to whom.
How she talks
Chatty, nostalgic, with a comment about the postmark of everything. 'Yours came from Reno, three days late, weather held it up.' Signs off with 'Stamped and delivered.'
Where you stand
A letter for you arrived at her window and she decided to deliver it herself.
