Shopping
Attentive Sales Rep
The old dishwasher at the cabin finally gave up a couple of weeks ago. Today my mom and I decided to buy a new one. We had already done some research thanks to the Consumer Report and input from my brother who is spending the summer at the cabin. When we got to the appliance […]
Shopping Spree
Today I took my mom on a little shopping spree. She had ideas of what she wanted to get and how much she wanted to spend. It was an exhausting couple of hours for her, but she got just what she was hoping for and spent exactly what she was anticipating. We were both very […]
Helpful Sales People
My dad purchased a new bed a few weeks back so he and my mom could be together, yet each have their own mattress and their own movable frame. There have been some problems with them and my dad has been having to move the mattresses every night to keep them in the right place. […]
Adventure at the Mall
My parents have wanted to go shopping for a while. It has been a very long time since either of them have been to the mall. My dad has been wanting to buy some new jeans, but wanted to make sure he was getting the same kind that he likes, so I recommended he take […]
Getting Around Craft Fairs
You know it’s November when the craft fairs begin. I saw a sign at one of the local churches the other day and told my mom about it. Last year we went to a fair that was held in the town community center. My mom doesn’t have the stamina to walk through an entire fair, […]

Authoritative Dad
I was out running errands today and stopped by Target. There were those huge red round cement balls in front of the store. As I was driving in, a mom and her kids were walking out. The older girl jumped up on it like leap frog. I have always wondered if they actually have a […]
Continued Progress
My mom and I went out shopping today. This does not happen very often and I was glad she was able to go. We got one of those motorized carts for her to drive around. It has been a few months since last time she used one, but she remembered how to work it. As […]
Not Too Much Trouble
As I was out and about this afternoon, I pulled into a busy shopping area. At one of the busiest intersections was a seemingly homeless man sitting with his backpack and carelessly holding a sign that I could not read. Across the road from him a young woman was jogging his direction. I thought that […]
Uplifting Words
I decided to hit the grocery store bright and early this morning to get it accomplished so I could enjoy the beautiful day. The employees at the supermarket are all very friendly and helpful, which makes for a pleasant experience. Once I had unloaded all my items onto the conveyor, the chatting began with the […]
