Adventures at Krogers

I finally had to go to the grocery store for myself. Other people have sweetly volunteered and picked up this or that from my list but I still don't end up with all that we need. So Joe and I trekked down to Krogers in Hebron. I am still using the walker so I had Joe drop me off at the entrance and went in and revved up one of the electric carts with the folded walker strapped to the top of the cart basket. Joe parked and came in as well and decided that he would also use one of the electric carts so he could follow me around and help. Not a bad idea as we ended up filling both carts.

We looked a bit like two kids let loose on go carts as neither of us had ever used one before. After we figured out the logistics of the steering, we were off. It took us over an hour, even on wheels. I think Joe was surprised at how many people he ran into (not literally) and how long it takes to shop.

Maneuvering the walker through the lane made check out a bit tricky but once through there, the really nice Kroger people helped us load the van and we were off for home. Joe backed the van part way into the garage. He carried the groceries to the doorway and I carried them into the kitchen. A half hour later all was put away and there's actually food for several meals now.

The hardest part about the trip or any trip so far is getting into the vehicle and the way the trip itself jars my knee. The other difficulty to the trip is it was another old fart day.
