A Helping Hand

Post by santadawes »

I was asked if it's possible to help take a friends son and friends to their school prom as all the limmos were fully booked and he wasn't let down as I pulled into his street. The faces on his friends was a picture as we arrived with lights and noise.
A handsome donation to charity and petrol cost were met by the father.[frame]Image[/frame]

Your right they loved every minute of their 20 minute journey. I heard voices from one limmo saying that they wished that they could have arrived in it. I think they were kept very busy showing their friends photographs taken before they got to the prom.

Next month I will be taking a bride to her wedding..... :D

Lovely scene there!
I dropped my sister and her pals off for her prom in my minor, but then their prom dates had to give me a bump start back out again :oops:

Wicked! Wish I'd gone to my prom in a police car! We all had to take a coach :(
I took my friend's daughter a couple of weeks ago - wish I had sirens though :D - I used ribbons and flowers instead
