My wife and I set off to go shopping. Before we had gone a hundred yards we noticed a woman standing beside her parked car, waving her hands. We decided to find out if we could help. I got out of the car and went to the woman. She was clearly in distress. She couldn’t get the car started, and asked if I had jumper cables. I did not.  I proposed that we call AAA. Then I noticed that there was a second person in the car, an older woman in the passenger seat. It turned out to be the woman’s 98 year old mother, getting kind of hot and bothered in the near 100 degree heat. After some discussion I learned that they were delivering a thank-you box of chocolates to friends who lived very near us (just three doors away as it turned out). Louise and I turned our car around, picked up the two ladies and drove them to the house they had been aiming for. The owners came to greet them, and I could see that their troubles were over. Louise turned to the mother and said: “You might live to be a hundred!” The mother looked back, scowled and said, in a strong gravelly voice: “ I hope note!”  Smiling, we went on our way.
