"A Heaven on Earth I have won by wooing thee." (All's Well)

Well, today I had a "date" with Rhoda. It was quite an occasion since it's been awhile since we had a day to spend together. We didn't quite spend the entire day together because she had a doctor's appointment this morning. But we did manage to get out about 1:30pm. As all things change with the years, this date was not quite like the dates we had when we first met and were "courting". Back then we would go out to dinner and a movie and then go back to hers or mine and listen to classical music. Now our date consisted of going out to lunch and then shopping at Costco; and finally a late movie, dinner out and back home to listen to operatic arias and perhaps watch the gardening show. However, we never made it to the movie because we didn't get out of Costco until 3:30, and since Rho never took anything out of the fridge for dinner, we are planning on pizza. After which, we'll take turns on the computer. Another date shot to hell. (Excuse the language). But I was so looking forward to watching the garden show, and listening to Kate Smith.

While at Costco, I didn't feel like walking around so fortunately we availed ourselves--rather myself--of an available Costco scooter. It was kind of old, and I figured, therefore, we'd get along together. I hopped in, revved up the motor and proceeded to follow Rhoda as she perused the isles to find the stuff on her list. I must say, that driving that scooter around Costco was akin to driving on the LIE or I95. Not only were there other scooters to avoid, but also, wheelchairs, walkers, canes, skateboards and surfers. It was certainly a harrowing experience. Hereafter when we go there, I will refuse unless we have accident shopping insurance. And perhaps a portable horn and rear-view mirror for the scooter.
