Nothing extraordinary this past week but this may have happened

ThisWeek a few years back ~ will always be one of my Fav's.

A few years back, up in Ely, Minnesota, I was on my way in to pay for some gas

& pick up some snacks & was met at the door by a very cute blue eyed blonde (18-22

maybe) who was on her way out ~ I held the door for her ~ she smiled & as she passed

she said " Is that your VDub?" ~ "Yup" I said ~ " Very cool ride indeed, have fun " she

said & proceed out to join her handsome male companion at their ToyotaPickUp. Quite

shocked was I, indeed! ~~ Grinned a 60something grin for quite awhile.
