Grandson David and I have a routine of having lunch together and shopping for groceries on Friday afternoon. It’s always a high point of my week. Today we went to a pub, the Scotsman, in town. I like taking a photo in the restaurant, but it was very dark. I doubt we would have been able to see ourselves. “Very” seemed to apply to everything there. It was very noisy, because the music was about ten times louder than was comfortable. Thankfully, the food was very good, as well.
I broke the small garden cart that John bought for me years ago. David agreed to go to Walmart with me, looking for a new one. We went up and down the aisles of the outdoor department, not finding a single one. There are hundreds on their web site. David finally spotted one type of cart on a shelf. He lifted one down for me to see. Demonstrating how big it was, he got in it!! I didn’t want to wait a week to see what Lowe’s had to offer, so I bought it. I was very grateful that he carried it out to the car for me. Tomorrow I’ll attach the handle.
My food purchases are minimal, so I’m always through shopping before David is. I go to the one bench in Ingles and wait for him there. He wasn’t going home with me today, so we sat there chatting. Several people greeted him – folks he knows from work and from church. I’ve shopped at that store for 12 years, and I rarely see anyone I know. I’m impressed that he has gotten to know so many people. We took a selfie to mark the occasion.

How wonderful to spend time with your grandson. I never understand why the music is so loud in some pubs/restaurants. Don’t they think people want to chat when out for a meal?

I hate loud music in restaurants unless it’s late at night and they have dancing. Not only is it hard to hear your companions but it’s hard to think!

That looks like a nice cart. David sitting in the cart gave me a smile. It must be fun to shop with him or do anything else with him for that matter.

That’s nice you have a regular outing with David every Friday Anne. David is double jointed or very flexible – I do remember he was flexible from prior posts. Now, if I did that, you’d be pulling me out of the cart in short order!

Well … I can’t get down on my knees at all. Right now, as it gets warmer outside, I don’t store anything in the bottom kitchen cabinets and I don’t store things in the Winter either. I did get all-house insulation to combat this, but where they put it is anyone’s guess! But I need to be more flexible for sure.
