PostalPix

She’ll probably receive them by Monday, and it only cost me $8.52 total. I’ve used PostalPix to send photos to my grandmother, […]

Possible Improvement?
July 12th, 2012 @ 9:35 am

I just received a text message from my sister. She said: I talked to Mom a little this morning. She was actually a little responsive and seemed to understand when I said things to her. She said “I love you” and even said “see ya” when I said it.
