Yesterday was mainly Driving Miss Mom. We went to get her hair cut in Petersburg (45 miles away) where her hairdresser sweet talks her, not knowing that she complains about his cut after she leaves, then 50 miles away to return a hip hugging pair of slacks that she had tried on when she bought them at Talbots, where I feel asleep in the waiting chair while she shopped for 30 minutes and didn’t buy anything, then to Macy’s where she needed some lipstick now that Dillards had closed, but Macy’s cosmetic department was on the other side of the store and she got tired half way there and we had to go back; then we stopped at Barnes and Noble (my trip) for a book see and coffee (I got a book on Buddha (can’t have enough Buddha books) and a peanut butter cookie (boy, was I rushed), and then we went to Costco where she sat in the car while I got a pickup load of toilet paper because a lot of stuff piles up at home, and finally we stopped at Pet Mart so she could get a dog bed, training treats, and poodle puddle pads because it’s too cold for the dog to go out and pee and besides she’s too small to get up the steps or since she has lived in a kennel all her two year life before Mom got her, steps are not part of her working vocabulary. It was a great trip!
No, seriously, it was a great trip. Every moment I spend with my 98 year-old mother is precious.
