Coincidences Involving Wallpaper

Barb finished her quilt just in time for the craft show at the community center on Sunday. On Sunday night, she put the quilt on our bed for the first time. It looked nice but Barb felt it didn't match the wallpaper.

Barb started thinking of repapering the bedroom. She talked to the previous owner about how the wallpaper in the bedroom was put up. He said he didn't know. He told Barb that a lady named Mary Lou, who was the girlfriend of the first owner, had put up the wallpaper.

Barb didn't think about it again.  Barb thought she might never find out how the wallpaper was put up.

The next day we went for brunch at Virginia's house with another couple. To make six of us, Virginia had also invited a lady to brunch named Mary Lou. Barb didn't put two and two together.

Then today Barb was outside and Mary Lou walked by. Barb went over to say hi. Mary Lou asked if the wallpaper was still up in the bedroom. Barb realized this was the same Mary Lou previous owner mentioned.

Then the previous owner came walking by. He was excited to tell Barb that this was the Mary Lou who put up the wallpaper.

Through all of these coincidences, Barb got her questions answered about the wallpaper.
