I am trying to determine who wrote out the recipe on a recipe card my Mom had but that was stamped with the name of a friend, relative, and teaching colleague. It appears to be in my Mom’s writing, but I wasn’t quite certain. I thought to myself that I wished I had a sample of the other woman’s handwriting with which to compare it.

Then I realized I do…in several Christmas cards of my parents where I was pretty certain this woman had written at least a few lines every year. Sure enough I still had some of the cards she had sent and sure enough they had some of her handwriting in them.

It appears that she didn’t write the recipe card. That’s not really the point. The point is that sometimes we have more things than we realize. And, based on the number of Christmas cards from my parents, I have handwriting samples from quite a few people.
