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.
