In the spirit of the last meme

I decided to take a snapshot of two of the notes my mother left when she was last here sitting my cats. One has been redacted, because another person was participating in the note-leaving process, and left her full name and phone number, so I'm not going to put that on the internets.





For the record, she's exactly like this in person, too.

Did you ever find her ring?

I love your mother. What lovely handwriting she has.

I am sad about her ring. Perhaps we should rent a metal detector and crawl all over your backyard.

I want a photo of this woman! I must know what the French queen of eccentricity and delightfulness looks like.

Don't be regretful of your handwriting my dear. Your mother cheats! She's not writing, nor is she printing...she's learned to do a mashed calligraphy using a marker or two. I can do this also if I put my mind too it since I taught myself some calligraphy way back when...

You can let you're mum know that I think she's a big ole fluffy missive printing cheater! Having said that, I think a character like your mum seems to require calligraphic notes...tell her she needs to get on with the illuminations now.

*Love*

Paze sez:

Someone else beat me to it: I was going to ask if your mom had studied calligraphy (or had taken a general penmanship class where calligraphy was taught), because that's what it looks like.

It also look runic. Actually, it looks quite a bit like the hobbit handwriting (Bilbo's and Frodo's, at least) that we see in the LotR films. Very pretty.

My mom had to take penmanship when she was in school, and as a result she became both right handed (after she had her favored left hand tied behind her back for a few months!) and a very lovely handwriter. I sometimes wish my left hand had been tied behind my back when I was learning to write, because my handwriting is so very ugly. :(
