I just received a text message that appeared to be someone who texted their friend about a wedding dress. I’m naive. I said have a nice time at the wedding. She thought that was nice, told me her name is Belle. I told her my real first name and then I asked her where she was from. Fairly good English. Not quite. That’s when I told her I live in Iowa. I don’t.
