Example: we went to a church on Sunday where an older lady wrote down her name and phone number, plus the neighborhood where she lives. She gave me the slip of paper and said, "Here - now you know someone in Memphis!" But I was confused. What, exactly, should my next move be? Do I call her up and say, "Hello, friendly grandmother-type, this is Salmonista, the newcomer with whom you discussed the beauty of the Seattle waterfront as viewed from your Alaskan cruise ship. Would you like to invite us over for dinner now?"
Then again, we've only been here for 2 months. I should probably adjust my expectations. Friendships might take a little longer to form. For now, I'll be content to have a few acquaintances.
