Shopping with Grandma

Took Grandma shopping tonight. She needed to get a few things. Now, my grandma is 90 years old so shopping with her is a completely different experience than just stopping by the store "for a few things." It's good for me to go with her. I have to slow down and relax. She walks with a cane so she's a lot slower than I am. She has to contemplate her purchases. She brought along a very detailed list of all the sale items she wanted. (The list included brand names so she would know what to get.) And of course checking out takes a little longer than normal since she has to find the right card in her wallet. Being with Grandma gives me really good insight to what being older is like. I hope that she's happy at her age and that I can add to it just a little bit by being patient while we're shopping.
