If you cannot make it home to hang out at the gun range with your dad come Easter morn, you do the next best thing and head for Southlier skies.
My delightful friends in Winston-Salem invited me for a brunch celebration, complete with colorful characters, squishy children and a crap ton of bacon.
While the entire weekend was spectacular, there was one particular conversation I had with our super sweet hostess that will forever remain as one of my favorite memories.
Because she is a delightful Southern woman, I will rename her "Truvy" for the purpose of this conversation and because it makes me think of Dolly Parton.
Truvy: Sara, I've been meaning to talk to you.
Sara: Oh yeah? What about?
Truvy: I have a wonderful young man I want you to meet.
Sara: Really.
Truvy: Yes, he is such a nice guy and I've told him all about you.
Sara: Okay... (this was me, trying to remain open-minded)
Truvy: He's an opera singer-
Sara: Truvy, is he gay?
Truvy: (laughs) No!
Sara: Hm.
Truvy: He works in fragrances-
Sara: Truvy, he's gay.
Truvy: (laughs again) I know, I know, but he's not!
Sara: Uh-huh.
Truvy: Now, he is a bit of a clotheshorse, and I know that's not your usual style...
At this point, all I could do was smile and nod because I was so amused, and oddly touched, by the whole thing.
Later, I sought out my friend Amy and told her about the conversation.
Sara: Truvy's trying to set me up with an opera singing clotheshorse who works in fragrances.
Amy: I know! He's gay!
This, my friends, is exactly what Easter should be.

That is precisely what Easter should be. Now please, go on that date so you can tell the rest of us about it.
But! Does he have track lighthing? Cuz then you'd KNOW FOR SURE!!!
I say date him!! Gay men are more sensitive, tidy, and their sense of style and fashion alone is worth sacrificing that pesky sex life thing.
Hooray for Gay!
I'm sitting here, eating my cheetos, and laughing my ass off.
He's SO gay!
I say you should go on that date. It would be hilariously awkward and leave you with an amazing story to tell us.
You shouldn't have told us this. Now we demand a date! My first blind date was a with a gay. It started a long and illustrious hobby of you-know-what-hagging.
Oh, but the advice he could potentially offer!
I would like to hear his end of the conversation with Truvy in which she is telling him all about you. Perhaps she is convincing him you're a nice girl?
Oh boy, you must go on a date with him, you just must!
There is a great story just waiting to happen, I don't know how you can resist!
You are so going to have to go one date! Take one for us all!!!
LOL, Amy needs to get together with Truvy for a little girl to girl talk.
that you kept an open mind was very, very good. I'm proud of you.
Hey,
Hope you don't mind, I nominated you for an award (see my blog).. but don't feel obligated to do anything about it. You're welcome. Keri
p.s. please hit the follow button next time you come over. wordpress doesn't have a friend connect feature and I don't want to lose you.
Ahhhhhh, I love it so much!!! Poor Truvy. Shouldn't she know how to spot a gay man according to Steel Magnolias? I bet his name is either Mark, Rick, or Steve, and he loves track lighting.
