It's one of nature's ways that we often feel closer to distant generations
than to the generation immediately preceding us.
~ Igor Stravinsky
- - - - -The other day Leslie and I were somewhere and we overheard a young woman say to another young woman, "The way my grandparents met is an unfortunate story." I thought that would make an EXCELLENT opening line to a novel.
And it reminded me of the time I heard my Grandma Boettcher tell about how she met my Grandpa Boettcher. She said, "Oh, my friend at the time, she didn't like that I dated your grandpa at all. He drove by in his car and offered me a ride and I said yes. She was so angry about that."
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, because she was dating your grandpa at the time," my grandmother replied.
