Totally forgot about that!
But I do understand what you're saying.
Especially when they ask for garden advice.
No zone, no state, no nothing.
They don't give me any info, I won't give them any info.
I just don't respond any more.
I don't really have a notebook. I have an address book with large spaces for each entry.
If I can, I peel the return address labels off the envelope or box,
like I did with you Esther, and stick them in there with tiny pencilled notes if necessary.
Used to keep a journal but threw it out accidentally during the move.
The address book is a lot easier to deal with and look up people.
The journal was just a jumble of info.
