Are you Married?
My Grandmemother and I were at Grace and Peace this morning getting some stuff together for a wedding reception. The food pantry was in session at the same time and while we were entering the church we passed a few of the people coming to pick up goods. My grandmother introduced me to one of the woman out waiting. She was Russian (Eastern Euro. at least) with a very stout figure and white hair. She took a good look at me and then cut to the chase,
"are you married" she asked.
oh no, here we go with that annoying question, I thought. Shockingly, the next word out of her mouth was an exuberant "GOOD". Ha! Definitly not the response I was expecting! It made me laugh though you could view the situation as sad too I suppose...

Checking the ol' ring finger goes a long ways, unless you're wearing gloves in which case... ahh nevermind... :-)

Hey Laura,
Remember me from Calvin and the Sherman St. house? It's a long story how I stumbled on your blog, but I did. Guess it's really a small world after all. Take care.

Of course I remember you Steph! I was thinking about you the other day! Gosh, I'm glad you found this blog. I would love to catch up w/ you!
Much love
Peter, ya, I think some people forget about the rings. Hey, I think this is the first time you've ventured into the land of Guinea-Pigs! Good to hear from you.

Oh that's right! Well then, a belated "Hello, Greetings, and Salutations!"
The story you told reminds me of something my old college roommate's grandmother would say... course she/they are Ukranian so maybe that's why I had a mental picture of it.

My mother told me all about you. She said "GOOD" because she thought you make good wife for me. I will contact you in future.
