MARNEE CHUCKROW FOLDOE
Special to the Bulletin
In 1974, I married my first husband and good friends of his got married a week later. Of course, they came to our wedding, and gave us a gift. We received an ice-cream maker from them, which was something we had wanted. When we thoroughly emptied the carton, we found a second wedding card; it was addressed to them! Obviously, they had received the ice-cream maker as a gift, did not want it, and gave it to us. We never told them about the card.
My first husband and I divorced 13 years ago. Although I got rid of him, I kept the ice-cream maker. But when I used it last summer, making chocolate-chocolate chip with my 15-1/2 year old son, Adam, the ice cream just wasn't creamy enough, so maybe it's time to get rid of it, too.
Marnee Chuckrow Foldoe lives in Santa Rosa with her second husband, Louis Foldoe.
