Above Rubies is SO COOL!

Today is Friday. Cleaning day! We were all upstairs going about our business when the doorbell rang. Yikes! Mr. Campbell was in town. Mrs. Campbell was at a retreat. I ran down the stairs to answer the door. Loretta asked, as I went flying by, if I wanted her to come with me. "Yes!" I shouted as I thump-thump-thumped down the stairs.
There was a guy with a clipboard outside, surrounded by dogs. The Barrette's dogs. Yay. They would intimidate any strangers. :) Loretta and I peek out the door. Not peeked. We opened it. Like we owned the place. :)
"Hello!" Said we.
"Hello!" Says he. "My name is Dustin."
We blink. We know of another Dustin, and HE doesn't look anything like him. An imposter!
We smile. "What can we do for you?"
"Say, this is quite a house." Says he.
I don't know if we grinned or frowned.
"And these are quite the greeting dogs."
We nod. One of us might've said, "Yeah, their great!" I don't know.
"Well, like I said, I'm Dustin with F... H.... I am trying to interview everybody in the Primm Springs area on the subject of cancer. Not a very pleasant subject I know, but it's one that affects so many families in America."
"For sure." We say.
"Are one of you the ladies of the house?" He asks.
"No." We say. "She's not here today."
"The man of the house then?"
"Mr. Campbell is not available at the moment. Perhaps if you tried back in the evening."
He writes the name on the clipboard. "Okay, in the evening you say? Good. I don't want to miss anyone." He looks at me. "So...Mr. Campbell, eh? So YOU must be Mr. Campbell's daughter!"
Heheheh. "No I'm not his daughter." An awkward pause. "I'm here volunteering for their ministy."
"REALLY? That is SO COOL! What ministry?"
I glance at Loretta. "Um, Above Rubies. They put out a magazine to enourage woman all over America."
"That is SO cool! What is your name?"
Grrr..."It's Annie." I shake his hand as he tells me how nice it is to meet me.
He directs his attention to Loretta. "And what's your name? Ahh. Where are you from? Australia! Wow. Why are you here? This Above Rubies thing? WOW. That is SO COOL! I wonder why I've never heard of this before. Is it because I'm a guy?"
Ding. (The 'lightbulb') "Hey, do you want a sample copy?" I say.
His turn to blink. "Sure..." I take off to go get one, but I hear him ask Loretta, "Is this a religeous thing?"
I grab the first magazine I see. Issue #76. I give it to him. "Hey, THANK YOU." He says. "Above Rubies...." (He is scanning the cover) "Well, thank you so much, I'll take it home and give it to my wife."
Score. "Great!" Said we, and we bid him goodbye.
Who knows? :)
