On their first date my Grandfather took my Grandmother to an
ice cream parlor.
He wasn’t a wealthy young man.
He had saved for weeks for this date.
As they were perusing the menu he was making suggestions
about what to order based on his finances.
A soda was 5¢, how about a dish of ice cream for 10¢?
Nope, not my Grandma!
She ordered the most expensive item on the menu, half a
cantaloupe filled with ice cream for 35¢!
My Grandfather’s comment was,” Boy Ruthie, you sure know
how to order!”
He loved telling that story.
...and he obviously bought her the ice cream delight, he was smitten ♥♥♥, lol.
ReplyDeleteDid they share the cantaloupe? Did Grandpa have enough dough for his own treat?
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! He must not've minded!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Ruthie! My husband always told me (and whoever else would listen) that I was a cheap date. I should have been more like Ruthie I guess. Great story it so made me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. thanks for the hugs!
