Stamps

 Do people still collect stamps? Perhaps philately is a thing of the past, now that email and social media are the modern means of communication.

I had a stamp album with lots of stamps when I was a child, but it's long gone now. But I still can't throw mail away with a stamp on it, so the stamps get packed into an envelope in the junk drawer.  One of the local churches was asking for collections of used stamps, so I decided to find the scissors and clean up my collection. 


And here's the pile of bits that were removed around the stamps. Lots more room in the junk drawer now.

  1. That is very funny. I have never collected stamps, but as for the junk drawer thing ... one in every room. When our daughter was working in Africa, pre easy email, we got letters with exotic stamps. Our local school collected, so they went there.
