Ruby Tuesday ~ Dropping You A Line
Before email, text messaging and iphones, one had to go to an awful lot of trouble to be read.
Much more romantic....don't you think?

Romantic aside, excitement and thrills are also factors here.
Happy Ruby Tuesday Mimi! :)
Mimi, I may have doubted, but after viewing these pictures...Blogginghan Really does exist!!
They used to smuggle love letters in all sorts of strange places in those days...
I wonder if those days really were more romantic?
i prefer a handwritten note or letter to email, texts, etc., any day! it means more..someone thought enough of you to actually sit down and write it w love.
Hiya Mimi,
I'm just been very very quiet because we were away in the Ststes these past weeks ( no,not in your area or I would have hollered !!)I will be catching up with your last weeks posts.
Pls,Pls; count me in for November's blog blast.
Big hugs to you xxxx
Sorry Mim; must be the jet lag; I can't type this morn...
We were in the States and also in Canada.
Happy Tuesday.
I also would like to sit there !
Hi Mimi!
Oh, you hit a spot with me here. I am such an old fashioned romantic. Thank You for such a wonderful Ruby Tuesday Post. You made my day! :-)
Hugs,
Kimmie
P.S. I love the new look of your blog. Very mystical.
Nice...
Well we tried my Queen but the idjits at wiki won again....
Very nice and very Ruby, well done my Queen.
Clearly you've never seen my handwriting. If "romantic" = "illegible" then yes, I suppose it was.
Great pictures. Mine's to do with mail too ;O)
I am impressed with the way you worked these works of art into your Ruby Tuesday post. Very clever! Take Care.
Napaboaniya - Hmmm....excitement....
Ralph - Of course Bloggingham exists. How could you doubt me?
Crushed - Probably not. Just a lot more trouble...
Ciara - A handwritten love letter from a guy is something I would cherish forever....no matter the outcome of the relationship. I have some from my once-upon-a-husband that he wrote when we were teenagers. Even after a divorce, I still smile when I read them.
Barbara - I've missed you! I can't wait to hear about your travels stateside. Anywhere near Bloggingham?
Bud- And to you.
Gattina - Thanks for visiting, my friend!
Kimmie - I love the look of yours as well. These old paintings really move me. Aren't they special?
Vinny - Yes, we tried. And we will try again. And they will see that BlogBlast has enough "meaningful content" to be included in Wikipedia. Is that really the best they can do? Don't get me started....
And a big big hug to you for all you did and are doing to make it happen for the movement.
Piebuko - Welcome back. You can steal one of my memes anytime!
Mojo - A handwritten note from, anyday, illegible or not, is better than an email. Thanks for visiting.
Babs - I shall be over soon.
Grandma Faith - Thank you. I enjoy doing this meme!There are a trillion possibilities.
Ah … lovely take of this week’s Ruby Tuesday with just a hint of red. Definitely romantic ;--)
Mine’s at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,
Dear Mimi,
I like the romantic but also naughty behind the painter's back flirtation.
Things are never as easy and innocent as they seem to be, not even in Bloggingham?
I like your site of many facets and many faces.
Like life itself.
From Felisol
I wasn't very romantic. The only people I wrote were my parents once a month and my sister on her birthday and in her Christmas card.
Now my sis and I exchange e-mail a couple of times a week and she checks my blog every day.
Mom and Dad are both gone, been dead for a few years now.
Did I ever write Mrs. Jim a letter? Don't think so as we have never been apart. :-)
..
Forgot, I like your pictures. They appear to be romantic to me as well as the characters in them corresponding with each other. I'm sure there are love letters and flirting notes.
Happy Ruby Red! Thank you for checking in on my red desk. It is a keeper, seemingly much in demand.
..
I truly enjoy your photos, your writting. Yes, I perfer a written letter and I love in person conservations.
I confess I have relied on Yahoo online greeting cards of late. But I do still sometimes send hand written notes.
I agree, there's nothing more romantic than a hand-written note, especially a secret one.
Thanks for stopping by!
Storyteller - Romance seems to be on my brains these days....Fall does that to me.
Felisol - Finally! Somebody who "gets me"! I do feel at times that people must wonder how many personalities I have here....honestly, they fell in my lap.
But oh the journey they take me on here. I am totally me (well, I don't really wear a crown to the grocery store)
Maybe.
Jim - It is so sweet that the two of you have never been apart...but it's never too late to take up letter writing you know...just sayin.
Dar - Thank you. I enjoyed your site as well!
Positive - Yes. I wait.
mymaracas - A secret one is even better....as long as it comes with a wink.
A great romantic Ruby Tuesday posting. I loved it. Have a great RT.
Yes, definitely much more romantic! What could be better than receiving a handwritten letter from your love, with the scent of him still lingering on the paper?
A wonderful relaxing scene within the palace! Thank you for leaving a comment on mine.
Love the Victorian paintings, Mimi! Yes very romantic indeed! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Being a castle buff I of course adore your pretty header:)
I used to be a very keen (handwritten) letter writer for many years, alas nowadays I'm just to busy/lazy for that. A pity since nothing beats a well-written, hand-written letter on a pretty piece of stationary...
I've been telling all my blogging friends about BlogBlast for Peace and I think I recruited a few.
A handwritten note is so romantic..
