What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown -watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small new England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar warm friendly grin and he said to the woman,
