Oliver said, “How did you meet Grandma?” As a teenager, he had trouble in the dating game.

“We met in college at a dance,” said Grandpa smiling from ear to ear.

“Your grandmother and I lived in the same dorm. The coed dorm had a wall dividing the male side from the female side of the building. A committee held a dance in our lobby,” said Grandpa.

“Was she pretty?” asked Oliver.

“Not striking,but attractive. Looks aren’t the only attraction girls have. Personality and how they treat others means a lot too,” said Grandpa. “Your grandma likes to help people and she ran track and cross country,” said Grandpa.

“Did you play sports, Grandpa?” asked Oliver.

“I played intramural basketball where my team competed against other teams in our college but not against other colleges,” said Grandpa.

“Did Grandma ever come watch?” asked Oliver.

“Yes she’d watched most every game. We had fun,” said Grandpa.

“Did you go in dates?” said Oliver.

“We didn’t have a lot of money. There were free activities on campus like movies and events in the auditorium,” said Grandpa.

“When did you get engaged?” asked Oliver.

“Your grandma graduated after two years of college so it was the summer after she graduated. We went out to eat and saw a movie then we went out to the horse race track behind your Great Grandpa and Grandma’s barn and I proposed marriage,” said Grandpa.

“Wow, did she say yes right away?” asked Oliver.

“She did. Then we were engaged for two years and have been married ever since,” said Grandpa.

“I hope I meet someone like you did someday,” said Oliver.

“We’ll there’s no rush. God will lead you to the right young lady in time,” said Grandpa.
