Sixty-three years ago today, Pawpaw and Nanaw had their first date: a Washington University football game, Steak n Shake dinner and a drive-in movie. Last night Nanaw left her key in the Escape's ignition and ran down the battery. So Nanaw called Mama to say they had an emergency. She told Mama what was wrong, and Mama came to pick up Chase and take him to school. Nanaw called Triple A and a nice young Black man with dreadlocks came to jump her car. They talked, and she found out he'd been a Marine stationed in Okinawa and she told him about Mike Jr. being there, too. Chase was happy to see Nanaw after school to pick him up. After school, they went to the little library park but none of Chase's friends were there. So Chase and Nanaw played baseball together on the tennis court and had lots of fun. After baseball, they went to the car wash. Then they went to the Telegraph Road library to pick up books. Chase asked Nanaw to make a skinny blue and yellow bracelet for Brady and to put it in a gift bag so Nanaw did. She also fixed two of Chase's bracelets.
