So after our lovely morning, planting session and lunch, I decided we should do our “big grocery run” to the big city:)

Super Store (not my favorite but the deals!) had a deal, buy $250. and get $30. off. I was out of everything as hadn’t done a shopping trip since Christmas so gathered my trusty man and off we go – at 4:30pm! You see, it is less busy around the dinner hour – in theory.

Anyway, what should have taken an hour, took over 2 as I ran into droves of patients – “Patient Office Reunion Day” at SS. I dodged (yes, I admit) a couple of them but the rest were a delight to chat with. I always introduce Wayne and they like to “see Jean’s husband”.

Our trunk and back seat were loaded – I was out of everything. ***Note to son, Mark, after you and Dad teased me about my stockpile of toilet tissue, we almost ran out – so there! Ended up getting 2 orders, so $60. off, $30. Mastercard point credit, $10.00 from coupons – I love that. Next biggie will be for Santa season and folks, that’s just around the corner:)

I even ran into a guy who wants to buy my “hot little Chevy 1/4 ton truck” and I told him has til Monday to decide – getting tough in my old age.

When I have home care, I will use part of one session to grocery shop – it’s too hard on Wayne.

I did read blogs but was too tired to comment – unreal! I hate getting old!!!

So we have a nice day on the go. This morn Brenda needed a ride to the greenhouse – that type of activity is great for Wayne. Actually, I bought quite a few more bedding plants myself.

Then off for groceries at our local “little market” and water bottles to recycling.

This sound so mundane but it’s a very full day for him. He had fun and she is a perfect dear handling him. It was quite cute at the greenhouse. Brenda looked around and asked, “Where’s Wayne?” The cashier said, “Your Dad is by the car.” We both cracked up – even tho age-wise he certainly could be her Dad. Then we’re talking about she and her husband booking a room at Brian’s hotel – I said to just put “aunt” down on the registration. “Aunt!! How about cousin?!” – she is 5 years younger than either of our sons. Ooops:)

He sat outside watching me plant – I really enjoyed that. My vow is “no more plants” but that darn nursery is only 5 minutes away.

I’m going to read blogs and he’s in bed – worn out but I think, content. Hope everyone had a nice day.
