Are you thinking that I want to say my brother-in-law is sour? Or are you thinking that I get a scrunched up face when I think of him? Actually, I really like my brother-in-law. He&#8217;s a little guy with a great sense of humor, but he doesn&#8217;t really resemble a pickle. Isn\u2019t it strange how one thought will trigger another?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the story of get well cards and Bobby, my brother-in-law, and how I found out he loves <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/all-occasion-cards\/all-cards.htm\">greeting cards<\/a><\/strong> as much as I do. A few years ago, I was at my sister\u2019s house in New Mexico and she said, \u201cYou have to see Bobby\u2019s collection of greeting cards from you. He has them all arranged on the windmill.\u201d Sure enough there were birthday cards, thinking of you cards, and a few just for laughs cards. He saved all of the greeting cards I sent him and right in front was a card with a pickle on the front, which he claims is his favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Bobby recently had a stroke and is in rehab doing physical therapy to regain use of his left arm and leg. I like to send him a few greeting cards a week to encourage him and keep him cheered up. So I sent off the get well card, but regrettably, I couldn\u2019t find one with a pickle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I was sitting here eating a pickle and thought: \u201cI should send get well cards to my brother-in-law.\u201d&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[37,59,124],"class_list":{"0":"post-371","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-inspirational-greeting-card-tales","7":"tag-greeting-cards","8":"tag-get-well-cards","9":"tag-brother","10":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Does a Pickle Have to Do with Get Well Cards?
