Well I just have to say this..When DAH's (dumb@ss hubby)plant closed down 3 days before xmas, there were SEVERAL members here who sent my kids and me little things. I expressed my appreciation to ALL of them. Now that I have a job of my own, when I get caught up, I intend on sending EACH of them a little something in return to show my TRUE appreciation of their generosity.
Now, for your problem...maybe she just isn't really WORDY?? I know sometimes I'm not. She thought thanks was OK? I dunno..just a thought. But still a bit more would've been great.
