Our Shopping Trip

I just hung up the phone with my Mom when I felt amazed at this woman! Earlier in the week, she asked me if I would take her shopping for some summer shoes and I told her I would. Mom has not driven for a few years now due limited eye sight and Dad is no shopper. So, this morning I phoned her and said,"How would you like to go buy those summer shoes?" Her immediate answer was, "Well, if you are too busy, I don't want to go...but..." "No, I am not too busy," I answered. She hesitated and then replied that she didn't want to keep me from doing what I had to do. I went on to tell her that today is actually a really good day to go and that I had even found some coupons for both Herberger's and Penney's in today's paper. So, she agreed to go.

She chose the time, 1:00 pm because I wanted her to go when it worked out best for her, although she was reluctant to do that, too.

I am excited to take her & I know we will have a good time. I hope I remember to be more like her when I get to be her age and my daughters ask to take me shopping!
