Daisy (Les Waldron) can no longer safely drive her car.

But she won't accept that fact.

 

  Her son, Boolie (Jim Lyreman) hires Hoke Coleburn (Bryan James) as her unwelcome new chauffeur.

  Miss Daisy is soon driving Hoke crazy. She doesn't want to go anywhere with him at the wheel. Then she gives him wrong directions and insists he drives many miles under the speed limit.

  As the years pass for both Miss Daisy and Hoke, she becomes more dependent on him. And suddenly announces, "Hoke, you are my best friend!"

 

  John Burroughs said, "To find new things. take the path you took yesterday."

 Take a ride with Miss Daisy, and you will cry and laugh at new things you'll learn about life and human relationships.
