I wrote "Happy New Year" inside and enclosed a thank you card for a retirement gift that I received a week or ten days ago.

I am so, so glad you posted this because I would have totally forgotten it.

but replied to ours anyway to send some family stuff.

My younger cousins -- once removed! -- seem to post Facebook Christmas greetings. Birthday, too. But they may send cards as well -- don't know, as I haven't ever started carding them since they "left home."

that Hope learned how to ride her bicycle and Uncle Harold in Arkansas had his gall bladder removed. Who is Hope? Why is Uncle Harold in Arkansas? Who is Uncle Harold? Who sent me this card?

Too tired to publish! No letter this time, just a note to folk who write to me. Others can drop off. Tis time. If I am not keeping up with their lives -- or they with mine -- why do the card thing.
