According to the definition, I suppose I eat dinner (my main meal at noon) but no longer have supper since my evening meal is banana and cereal making it a really late breakfast.

Mike always asked what I had in mind for supper. It seemed to be more important to him as time went on. But he had no interest in going to the grocery store. I say lunch and supper but everyone else I know days dinner for the evening meal. Dinner is what we used to have after church on Sundays.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-69667023088648784842016-05-14T20:04:22.190-07:002016-05-14T20:04:22.190-07:00Bob, is a true Texan so he's sticking with sup...Bob, is a true Texan so he's sticking with supper.

He couldn't use the motorized carts and I'm glad he didn't want to because he wouldn't have been trustworthy using one. But he loved to sit up by the checkout stands in his own wheelchair where people would talk to him. Some of the clerks used to make over him, too.

He is 84 and has health problems that make it necessary for me to do the driving, buying groceries and most of the cooking. He did all that for about 40 years and is having a very hard time giving it up.

It's a social time for him. There are checkers that know him and make over him, and he always finds somebody he can engage in conversation. He needs some social outlet time and the grocery store is his place. He could make it much easier for me if he'd get on one of the motorized carts and scoot around the store but no, he wouldn't do that for anything.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-15541030060613627102016-05-14T15:19:03.228-07:002016-05-14T15:19:03.228-07:00Maybe Bob likes the store for the same reason I do...Maybe Bob likes the store for the same reason I do...to people watch.
