I have may- but a couple always spring to my mind.
One summer when we lived in Edmonton , Mary and my Mum -from Ont were visiting at the same time. They hadn't met before. I had to go out for some reason and left them alone to get to know each other. When I got back I found them chatting quite happily- drinking some purple stuff in tiny glasses. They had taken a little walk to a close shopping centre and bought this liguor called ' l'amour something'. They got along fine with each other,
In 2004 I was at a conference in Wpg. staying at the Strathcona. When it ended I stayed a couple extra days and invited Mary to come and stay with me from Brandon- and two of my sisters , Pat and Blanche, flew form Ottawa as well/ It was Hallow e'en. Mary had never met Pat before either. We had dinner in this upscale dining room and was served by a young man , Justin, who was not happy having to work and missing a party.. He was giving us the menu- verbally- and Mary was loo0king up at him. He turned to her and said 'you are staring at me!' Well- yes! He then bought us 4 tiny glasses of some drink- plunked them down in front of Mary and told her to hand them around. the dinner continued like this- and we all dined out it for years, Trudy Thorgeirson-- sister in law
