Three of us were walking along the road at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, looking for the azalea gardens. It was farther than we thought, and it was getting warm and humid, and we were getting tired so we turned around. Just then, a big, vintage, white convertible, with its top down, slowly drove by. As we commented to each other about the car, the older gentleman behind the wheel stopped and asked us if we wanted a ride.
Hmmm… there are three of us older women…it has been a long time since any guys have asked us to go for a ride anywhere. HA! We all looked at each other, silently accessing the situation, and all thinking there is strength in numbers. This seemed pretty innocent and sounded like a lot of fun – so we jumped in!!!
He took us directly to the main building where we were headed anyways. He stopped the car and we got out and asked if we could take pictures. He said sure. It was a 1964 Cadilac Eldorado convertible, in mint condition. He bought it last fall from a guy who had stored it in an outbuilding. He fixed the four flat tires, but that was about all that was wrong with it, he said.
We thanked him for the ride, and then we laughed all the way to the cafeteria.
Haha! Love that story Val!!
