just by looking around for a few minutes without even knowing you? While visiting relatives and friends by invitation, I wonder why they have all their medications and other drug store items all over counters, tabletops and bathroom vanities instead of behind one of the many cupboard doors. I have several health issues, but I like to keep them private if possible.

Both have full length glass-paned storm doors. House is Cape Cod type-very plain-no shutters. Very light grey siding with charcoal shingles. I live in a rural area.

There is one who continuously sends invitations to showers, graduations, family reunions or anything else that she can make into a bash of some sort. I'm not interested, I do not know nor care to know any shirt-tail relation. I have tried to ignore, I have sent RSVP's, and everything I can think of. She still doesn't get the hint.

in a journal from birth through elementary years? My mother filled one out for each of us and I did the same for my own children.

Would it be appropriate to also give her a hostess gift and if so, what would be a good choice? Thanks!

would, or just forget it? We are not terribly close, but we like each other fine. Her birthday is in 2 weeks. I appreciate any input from those who have been in similar situations. Thanks!
