Stamps

My father collected stamps … every stamped envelope was a treasure, though his passion was for unused stamps, particularly “plate blocks” … four stamps with a serial number from the corner of a sheet of stamps. Now I have a lifetime supply of stamps in every denomination … 2 cent, 3 cent, ten, fifteen cents … I stick a dozen or so of these stamps on an envelope until there’s enough postage to get my letter where it’s going … these beautiful, old commemorative stamps … with their history … the memories … and my fond recollections of my father for which I am more grateful each year.
