You remind me of a day in Germany. I was in a German Immersion class. I arrived at 0600, parked my car in a place guarded by a fellow who’d been a POW in Mexia, Texas. He loved Texas, came here every year for vacation,
cause he’s acquired many TX friends. At 1600 my class was finished. I went to my car and there were NO KEYES in my purse. I looked in the car, and there they were, just pretty and shiny, hanging in the ignition. I was STUNNED, I’d done something SO DUMB. I called Roomey, and he went to my apartment, got the extra set of keys. brought them to me, with a promise of dinner,...later. Then he looked into my VW, reached through the OPEN window and fetched my keys. To this day he claims I did this to ruin his “other” date. Really, my ex-POW friend kept my car so clean, my window always looked the same. It never dawned on either of us to check the window....my ex-POW and I were stunned. As it turned out, My ex-POW friend called his wife, and told her what had happened, and to meet us at this really neat restaurant, Die Oelen Speigel, a fantastic place. Lo and behold, Roomey was still wandering around, having called his “other date” and cancelled, met up with my friend’s wife and in they came together. We had a wonderful small dinner and conversation, with wine and all the atsomphere,
we all drove home in our cars. About 2200 hours Roomey called to tell me I’d done that on purpose.......She had called and didn’t want to see him anymore. Well.....you know the rest of the story, from then on he chased, until I caught him. He was worth the run. LOL.
