We have . . . there is a . . .why is there a . . .
I don't know how to ask this:
Do greeting cards have a mind of their own? Do they disappear for other folks the way they do for us? Do other people buy birthday cards and graduation cards and baby shower cards which silently disappear?
Do we buy too early? Probably. This gives the cards more time to plan their getaway. There is one beautiful card which has an eagle on it. Somewhere. We lost it before the scheduled birthday arrived. We found it some months later and it again disappeared. If it turns up again, I will capture it and hand it to the recipient whether it is his official birthday or not.
I am beginning to feel that cards might be an unnecessary evil. Unless, of course, the birthday in question happens to be mine . . .

It can't be Our Card you're looking for. I know where that one is. It's on my kitchen hutch, nestled in a protective food storage bag against a thick and sturdy piece of cardboard that has the words OUR CARD boldly handwritten on it, (lest someone think to dispose of it at some point during the year). In alternate years, when the card wings its way in your direction, the cardboard stays in the bag on the hutch to remind me it's Your Turn Next!
Even so, some years I can't quite recall if I sent it last or if you did! I may take to xeroxing the thing. Maybe it's genetic?
I confessed to Zeta that J had bought her a card while we were away. It was appropriately cat shaped and was a "daughter" b-day card.
I mindlessly bought a different card while in the Hallmark store.
Everything evaporated. The eagle card is a b-day card for Zeta's M. He may or may not ever receive it.
