This is from Nicky, a new exchanger. The lettering is outlined and filled in. I'm impressed with the attention to detail. There will be an envelope coming up - also in blackletter - from Lucy who is at the same address as Nicky. I'm guessing that it's a mother/daughter. Or maybe sister's?
Here they are together. This is from Lucy. They are both *empty* envelope people. I never know if people read the blog. Amy and I have emailed about my *thing* for estimating people's ages based on their penmanship. Amy calls it a *party trick.*
It's getting harder for me to guess a person's age based on their penmanship. In the past, people with Palmer style writing were from the greatest generation and the baby boomers wrote in the Zaner-Bloser style. If a person did not have one of those two styles they were automatically a GenX. Now that there have been two generations without cursive - it's getting harder to do my age-guessing trick. Lucy's on the bottom looks more like a GenX and Nicky looks more like a millennial or GenZ. Maybe they'll let us know how good my guess is.
