Worse still are the preprinted cards which say "Thank you for your gifts and best wishes" which require no personalisation whatsoever. When I get one of those I often wonder why they even bothered.<BR/><BR/>Your south sounds like a most excellent place.Fairlie - www.feetonforeignlands.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145612102935177016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955071586429125990.post-87745745499544276672008-06-20T09:42:00.000-04:002008-06-20T09:42:00.000-04:00White is considered a summer color.

You know, like ecru and eggshell are different.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand why thank you notes are a lost art. I've gotten some terse: "Thank you for the towel set" and "Thank you for the money" followed by a scrawled signature. That's not a note, it's a legality!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673930610844503371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955071586429125990.post-607280892281887342008-06-20T07:31:00.000-04:002008-06-20T07:31:00.000-04:00My mother-in-law likes a mint julep.
