Had I not been here for my parents I'm not sure what my mother would
have done about groceries. She was still driving but worried about
leaving Dad home alone (Alzheimers). I really don't know if there was a
grocery store around here that would have delivered in 2007. Then
again, it probably wouldn't have occurred to her to ask. It certainly
didn't occur to me. Mom turned over the shopping and the driving to me.
I didn't mind.
