Monday's Madness

After I finished my 30-minute exercise class, I began my mile walk. As I was walking down one of the streets, I met one of my friends walking, one whom I had just seen riding her golf cart earlier. She was smiling, as she always does, but she looked so tired. When I asked her why she was walking, she said her golf cart battery had died. I wanted to play the Good Samaritan, so I told her to wait at her home which was very close by, and my husband and I would see about getting it home for her. I walked back and Don and Sammie, a neighbor, rode their bikes up to check it out. When we couldn't find the charger, Sammie tried the starter and off it went. Well, they told me to drive it home and they would follow me to make sure I made it. Fortunately, I did make it but it was a slow go. When we got there, however, her husband and another very elderly friend had driven up to see about the cart. Of course, they couldn't find it! It was already home by this time. Well, her husband thought it had already been stolen (his wife did leave the keys in the ignition). Sammie then rode his bike back up where they were looking for the cart to jokingly tell them that he had seen someone loading a golf cart on a truck! Now, I'm getting scared that my good deed may backfire! Would I end up in trouble? But, the truth will always come out. Actually, the elderly couple was very happy that we had gotten the cart back because he didn't know how he would get it there. It became a funny episode and just provided another chance for playing tricks on friends. Once again, I am on the receiving end. That's okay, I would do the same to them every chance I get. That's part of the fun of being a Senior!
