Thanks, Perna. My mother and father-in-law live over 1200 miles away in a state I would probably never visit. So we can't just get together. They don't do email, so any contact would be by phone or letter. I would never be able to call them, at least without some prior contact by mail, so the choice right now is either send a letter/card or do nothing. I know I can't arrange to give the siblings cards without mailing one to the parents. That would be a major faux pas, even though I feel closer to the sibs. (The siblings only live a few hours drive away.)

That sounds like some gathering you are going to. Good for you. A great model for me.
