National Handwriting Day

National Handwriting Day (1/23)

After saving the topic all month, I almost missed it after all. That would have been a shame because this seems to be a theme for the year. Following up a comment on a newspaper article, I found out that Austin N. Palmer, of Palmer Method fame, didn’t just briefly pass through Cedar Rapids, as I had supposed, but he is actually buried at Cedar Memorial Cemetery here. Now, I’m going to have to find out more about him.

Then I have just put in my registration for the spring MOMCC for the Spencerian writing method workshop. So as I say, it seems like it will be an on-going theme.

Handwriting is important and there are a million little tasks that it’s just not worth typing, when you can just quickly write it down. So make sure that your children learn handwriting and give a little thought to the legibility of your own. 😉 Happy National Handwriting Day!
