Thread Name: BS: How Did Your Parents Meet?
Subject: RE: BS: How Did Your Parents Meet?
Jerry...You sir, are a prince among commoners.
Because of this topic I was still thinking about my folks when I crossed the street this morning to tend to the neighbour's place while she's away. I noticed another neighbour sitting in her front porch reading the paper, so I wandered over to say hello and shoot the breeze. I asked her how her parents met, how she and her husband had met, and generally listened to her life history for an hour or more. We know each other well anyway, but I heard things I never knew until this morning, and she was more than delighted that I asked. She is over 90 years old, and her parents met sometime in the 1890s. Fascinating stuff in an entirely different age but with the same human urges and desires as today.
So folks, take time out from Mudville and go ask these questions of those who don't spend too much time on-line. It's an education, never mind a comfort.
Peace, Mooh.
P.S. Tried to post this yesterday but the Cat went to sleep as I did.
