Greta never buys birthday cards.  She doesn’t believe in them.  She’ll buy a nice thoughtful gift, but she won’t attach a card to it.

She has nothing against cards…in fact, she often writes beautiful hand-written notes. (She has admin access to herbietown, but so far she’s refused to post anything, which is your loss, dear readers, because she’s a much better writer than me)

We discussed the matter today, and I accepted the personal challenge of resolving this character defect in her.  I estimate that I have at least 50 years to work on it.  Wish me luck.
