Hospice volunteer stunned by family’s generous gift
enclosed. The wine is long gone,
and I have used the wine glass
ever since.
I left the gift card in the
birthday card and set it aside.
I recently wanted to buy a $20
coff ee mug online, so I pulled
out the gift card and was shocked
to see the value of the card is
almost four times more than
the mug I fancied. I feel the gift
is too much. How do I grace-
fully return the very generous
gift? — OVERWHELMED IN

DEAR OVERWHELMED:
Your heart is in the right place,
but please do not reject that fam-
ily’s gift of gratitude for what
you did for their mother — and
for them — during a diffi cult

DEAR ABBY: For a few
years, I volunteered to tend to an
elderly woman through a hos-
pice organization. My role was to
visit with her while her son ran
errands or enjoyed an evening of
entertainment. I grew fond of her
and her family.
For my 70th birthday, her
daughter, son and daughter-in-law
hosted an at-home dinner in my
honor. It was good fun. In addi-
tion to a tasty dinner and home-
made birthday cake, there were
presents: wine, a wine glass and
a birthday card with a gift card
For the best appearance, truss the
legs and wings. Roast in oven until
done, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours,

chicken; if it is getting too brown
on top, cover with aluminum foil.
The chicken will be done when
the legs move freely in their joints.
3. Tent with aluminum foil
and wait at least 5 to 10 minutes
before carving.

When fl oods surged in Maine on May
17, 1814, many stored logs lumbered
downstream with nothing to block them.
During the 19th century, logs were stored
in the rivers of Maine as logging opera-

DEAR ABBY: This is not
a big drama, but I think that
if someone wants to give out
my email address, they should
fi rst ask me for permission. I
just received an email from an

asking me if that was OK. No, it
wasn’t! Abby, I’m not in witness
protection, but my email address
is private. Am I crazy? —

DEAR TALKING: What you
can do is quit drinking to ease
your loneliness and get out of
the house. Socialize with others
at least once a week. Look into
opportunities to volunteer in your

with you if you can pry him out
of his chair. The only thing you
should not do is continue on the
path you’re on.
P.S. If your husband’s pas-

going with him to the doctor so
he can be screened for depres-

DEAR ABBY: My husband of
55 years never talks to me any-

off into space. He says he has
“nothing to say.” It drives me
crazy. I suppose, after all these
years, anything he says has been
said before, but still, it leaves me
feeling lonely and unloved.
When I tell him how it makes
me feel, he says it isn’t the case,

just so long. I really look for-
