Groceries anyone?

On Friday or Saturday I do the same thing I have been doing for over fourty years.  What is that you say?  Going for groceries.  I go even if there is nothing on my list.  They say I go every week because it is a habit now.  I won't tell them they are right.  While having my AM tea, I write on the list the things I can remember needing.  I don't put milk and bread on the list, just things I have run out of or something I need for a new recipe.  Yes, Bob is sometimes a guinea pig.  He doesn't complain.  We see the same people in the same store, they have gotten to know us.  If he can't go with me the girls all ask where he is.  I do have to send him to work during the week.  The cashiers love the entertainment we provide and try to get us in their aisle.  We like to fuss over "paper or plastic?"  I like paper so we can put our papers in them, he likes plastic so he doesn't have to buy plastic to use when he cleans the cat pan.  I bag, so it's mostly paper.  There are some things we can't get at that store and have to go elsewhere.  Last time we went together, I decided to shock him.  "Can we go to a different store?  He was shocked, but we did go elsewhere...
