So I spent the day running around with my grandpa today while Chucho slept in. He had a doctor's appointment to fix BOTH of the hearing aids he "accidentally" broke weeks ago. Then it was off to breakfast for a senior meal - he loves those discounts. Then he wanted to get parts for his weed eater, at 2 different stores. Then it was across town to get some tomato plants to replace a few that he doesn't feel are performing good enough, and then he needed to get a card for a wedding, so I got to read to him and most of the store half an isle of cards...and he settled for "one that just holds money - who cares what it says. THEY won't"... Then after I asked if we were finished and ready to head home, and he says yes, Chucho wakes up and calls, saying he's hungry and could I bring some Mcnuggets. I say sure and pick some up figuring its our last stop before home. While at the drive thru he remembers he wants some beer for tonight, so it was off to the liquor store for supplies. That was the one thing that wasn't an ordeal. He knew right where the specials were. Then he had to go to the ATM to get the money for the card. I helped him push the buttons while he loud whispered to me the code on that "damn ATM that nobody can see" He was right. Even I had a hard time reading that faded display. Then it was back to Loma...and halfway there he panics saying that he left his glasses on the ATM because he could read better without them, but he needs them for tv... He pats down his body and says we have to go back... We go all the way back, he gets out of the car and stands up to go to the ATM and feels them in his pocket.... So we get back home and have a beer for our half hour day that turned into the whole day and I give Chucho his now cold nuggets... So Grandpa wants to see the pics we took at the Monument. He sees this pic and says, "If you want to live as long as me, you don't do pictures like this" and shut the laptop.
And I do :)
