You're only 58? My you don't look any older than Penny, I thought you guys were sisters.
If she's with a carp she's been fishing around in the right stream.
Did you know that there's at least 15 very good uses for sawdust, so you'll never have to worry about them going hungry (they can mix it with hamburger the way they do at McDonald's), they'll never want for bedding (as long as they have a couple of sheets to stuff), their walls will always be warm (as long as the termites don't devour the insulation), with all the snow you'll be getting they can come over & sand (pun intended) your walkway (so you'll see them even in the worst of winter), on those long, dark, boring, Maine winter evenings they can make toys out of a sawdust & epoxy mix & call them "woodys" & start a cottage industry with them (or fill in the cracks in the hard wood floors), sawdust makes a great hand cleaner when used with soap (course it doesn't go down the drain well), it's also great for picking up or controlling oil spills (doesn't stop the oil leak though), small amounts can plug up a leaky car radiator, you can mix it with pot & smoke it & it won't get you too high but it'll give you a big headacke, if you sprinkle it on your grime caked floors it'll clean them back to bare wood if you shuffle when you walk (but it'll take about 10 weeks to do a good job & then you have to refinish them all over again). I'll spare you the rest.
So really she could've done a little better with a plumber, but not that much better & when you think about what's been said about plumbers & plumber's sons, she's probably done very well.
Now what's his side saying about real-states daughter's? I'd say he's done himself even better than she.
So all in all Deb or should we start calling you Mil or Millie, you'll make a fine In-Law, you don't have to worry about Penny making a lousy supper from her mother's recipe (wine only comes in red & white or shades of those, good thing Tom's the great cook), the new son-in-law won't know what your talking about when you do flub it, tell him it's your accent he won't know the difference & how could he not like you, you've won your way into the hearts of the Main-e-axe's & isn't he one of them? What's he got that they don't have, they've got good taste!
You'll be just fine
