GRAMS BELIEVES in practice.

So I stand next to her at the piano and turn pages while she plays and memorizes the words to her music for the parade. And receives love calls. In the middle of “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem, comes the familiar Riiiiing. Ring. Riiiiing.

“Salut, Glory Bea,” says Miss Connie when I answer. “I just checked my numbers, and if your grandmother gets two more callers today, she’ll break the all-time weekend record a day early.”

One ring comes during “The Yankee Doodle Boy,” and the record breaker while Grams sings “God Bless America.”

“Well, now,” says Grams, sitting back down on the piano bench and playing the first few bars of “Here Comes the Bride.” “I do believe my fortieth match may be just around the corner.”

Eavesdropping on her matchmaking conversations, while beneficial, has gotten me only so far. There’s an expert in my house and I need help. Ruby Jane had a breakthrough at dinner this week. I must build on the momentum.

“Grams, what are your favorite matchmaker tips?”

“I tell all my clients three things: be you, have fun, be positive.”

That explains my challenge.
