Yesterday my kids and I drove two hours away, to attend the Romanian Orthodox funeral of my son’s former MIL. This was hands down the longest funeral I ever attended. It was so interesting to observe and of course we love our former daughter in law and her family.
Her parents left Romania to escape communism and became Americans to find their American dream, which they found! They started a food truck and catering business, bought a beautiful home which they sold six years ago to achieve their biggest dream, buying seven acres of land to garden, farm, and raise chickens and goats. I once asked Marina the question I ask all foreign born transplants, “what surprised you the most when you moved to America?” Without hesitation she said, “I couldn’t believe how big the refrigerators were!” Lol
Rest In Peace Sweet Marina. The woman never met a person she didn’t feed.
Needless to say I was absolutely knackered after eleven hours of funeraling, but these tweets and posts really helped last night and today. Thanks Glen!
Tootie isn't as smooth a liar as ole Peppermint Patty.
