Online grocery shopping is no picnic especially when things one wants aren’t in stock. Forget the sanitizing!
As fate would have it, our younger son was at Trader Joe’s shopping at the same time. He happened to text to ask if I needed anything. All I needed were green seedless grapes.
He showed up earlier with a huge container of grapes, lobster ravioli, and four gigantic bars of Belgium chocolate! He wouldn’t accept money from us.
We hung out in our garage wearing masks and had the heater going for a good two hours. We talked about gifts he bought for his girlfriend and hinted at ours.
This kid of ours is too sweet. He gets it from his daddy.

@DianneN My son would walk ten miles, to bring me two aspirins. That's how Chad is, also. If he knows I'm in need, bingo! He'd do anything to help We are blessed with caring children, who return our love, 1,000,000X1,000,000. It's wonderful!

@DianneN Uh-oh..where is her hometown?? Is it in France? Not sure about son. I guess will have to wait until Corona isn't a big threat. Hopefully within the next several months.

I hope this virus will disappear enough to let you and I see our kids and family as in the good old days.

@DianneN Sis works for Publix since Publix took over Albertson years ago when she was liquor store manager, but with Publix she is now liquor store specialist as Publix group areas that were management under one of 3 departments, but the specialists till have almost as much to do as they did when they were managers except they are hourly and not salaried employees.

We’ve been very lucky with the fruits and veggies and don’t accept substitutes for what brands we prefer. I don’t want to go into a market that has hundreds of people passing through it daily.
Thanks. Our son is so king, generous, and thoughtful. I will make it up to him with gifts and a huge check for Hanukkah.
That’s Cody, one of our grand doggies. He belongs to our older son.

The few times I have done online grocery shopping no problem at all!
I don't do it often because the only shopping I enjoy is food shopping--well looking at all the things I want to buy and eat but don't!
