Dec 2012

As for my sister, I did send her an email thanking her for the card she sent, but she never

acknowledged it with a "your welcome", or whatever.

You might be right about giving her a call, but since I initiated the last call, which started out light

and casual and then deteriorated, I don't feel comfortable initiating another one.

As it happens, HER birthday comes only a few weeks after mine, so I'll send her a card and

see what happens.
