Shopping with Cassie

The day after the Shop Hop ended, I was still seeking black and white plaid flannel fabric. So after Sunday school, Cassie and I headed to Hancock’s. She was busy learning to use her cell phone to “send” a text message. It’s really my old phone that still holds a charge, but has no service – as long as she doesn’t dial 9-1-1!!! (In case you don’t know, by law any cell phone can dial 9-1-1 as long as it’s still charged-up. You can’t place any other calls, just calls to 9-1-1.) So essentially she was busy learning to spell while riding in the cart and playing. She also asked to have fabric spread over the top of the cart like a tent. All other shoppers could see was me pushing a cart, spelling words out loud to myself.

Then we hit the grocery store. I piled the groceries onto the conveyor belt for the clerk to scan and then I noticed that Cassie was at the end busily sacking them all. She’s barely tall enough to see into the sack, but there she was filling sacks and trying to place them into the cart (I kept the carton of eggs). Too bad the sacks are too heavy yet for her to help carry into the house…

Now you tell me about 9-1-1. I could have called from my unrenewed (is that a word?) Tracfone yesterday instead of bothering the lady at the Senior Center. Tom was in St. E's all day and they kept him so a neurologist could see him before releasing him. He should be home today sometime. The dizziness is thought to be meds and something like autonomic neuropathy. Great, something new to add to the list of conditions!
