It doesn't matter that it's winter in Iowa. (Or that the women are on the cusp of 80.) CLARA thinks a Hawaiian-themed blind date will be the perfect way for her and roommate Bertie to find new husbands. BERTIE, on the other hand, thinks it's the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. What's wrong with eating Ben and Jerry's right out of the carton and watching Wheel of Fortune like they usually do? But just before their dates arrive, both have a change of heart.
