Hey Bethie, My "soon to be in person friend":

I know, I know. I am not even sure what possessed me to answer the phone since I NEVER do. But it was not a time Ash would be home. And it was my birthday. I guess we all hold out a little hope that they might be nice - just once.

I can honestly say I didn't lose any sleep over it. I had just noticed some subtle differences in the last little while and it made me curious. The biggie was that he told Ashley how much he missed my father and BIL. That was strange.

OK, enough thought - on to new life once more.
