    Thank you notes

    Oh SoNot, that is indeed unpleasant. Most relatives and friends want to know that the gifts have arrived and hope that the young couple like them! Of course you were upset.

    Thank you notes

    Thank you notes are much appreciated at our house. We often ship gifts out of state and do not know for sure if they've arrived. One bride never said thank you, but sent out Christmas cards with a wedding photo of the couple. Her mom explained that is "the new way" to say thanks. HUH?

    Baptism Dilemna

    We had a tiny 400 sq. ft. studio apartment when we first married. We wanted to share Thanksgiving with others and had 18 people. Yes we were cozy/squished, but it was fun. How about a potluck? Family would be happy to help out, I bet.

    Appropriate amount for LI, NY wedding gift?

    I am at the age where I get many wedding invitations, easily 20-25 per year. I admit, I'm a bit relieved that $300 is not typical in our region!

    Vehicle Donations

    In Raleigh,NC there is a great organization called Wheels for Hope which accepts donated cars. Mechanics volunteer their time, and people who are working hard but have a low income are allowed to buy them for $500. Some groups are hurting because the "clunkers" were crushed rather than...

    Your LEAST foolish purchase?

    Need a new mattress

    Several Radissons offer Sleep Number beds. I hated it. It felt like an air mattress. I was never comfortable the entire vacation. It's great for some people, not me.
