Not a peep from the nephew who got and cashed a check for $50 nor from the parents of twins who received some really nice quilts and a large check for each of them.
Maybe they don't have stamps. Or my email. Or manners.
I'm over it. I didn't send the gifts for the thank you, but some days you get in a cranky mood when not a single one says thanks.
Actually, I brought a huge donation of several cases of food to my parish pantry yesterday and intentionally left it in the vestibule of the Church before Mass so that I wouldn't have the same issue with them or ~
"What is this stuff? (Food, you idiot!)
"Where did you get it?" (I robbed it from an old lady!)
"Is it expired?" (Yes, of course it is and whoever eats it will get botulism poisoning. Bwahahaha! You discovered my evil plan!)

i know. it gets so depressing. my sister writes thank you's for thank you's. much like my mom. i usually call, sometimes write, but my eyes are opening! but then, i buy cards and never send them, compose letters in my head and never write them,,,omg, i am the problem! guess i'd better clean up my own act, before i criticize others. anybody got a pen? is my face red!?!
tomorrow i start my dq. have a fun idea, just hope it works!

and to think, that's what we've moved away from! you did something kind and your neighbor in turn did something nice. it seems we're so busy thinking of ourselves and how busy *we* are that we don't take the time to adequately think of others. and our children have grown up thinking that's ok. it isn't, is it? forty-four cents and the price of a card can make a million bucks worth of difference!

Everyone has been busy here!!!
There are sure some wonderful quilts - but the one I got is the BEST!!!!
