Ami and Ruby’s Infinite Playlist

I thought of scenarios where our great great grandchildren would be looking for us on ancestry.com one day (ha ha), and would pull from a government archive database, a copy of our marriage license. Both of our names, legally bound.

Every day Frances finds new things. A week ago it was that she could put her feet in her mouth. Yesterday it was keys: tasty, tasty metal keys. Today it was my wedding ring.
