What do “Old Folks" DO in those old folks’ homes?

You’re about to find out!  

Joanne’s Jaunt   August 26, 2025           

Dale Metzler comes to VMRC (Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community, where I live in the summers) to play pool with his brother, Bill, who lives here.   As he leaves each day, Dale stops to chat with us on the porch.  (Some of us sit out together every afternoon.)   

One day he said, “Who wants a motorcycle ride?”

Joanne Lockhart’s hand shot up, “I do!  Me, me!” 

Dale told her to be ready the next day at 3:00 p.m.   Sure enough, Dale and his wife, Barb, came at 3:00.  

Barb brought her jacket
for Joanne to wear.
