My husband and I are both senior citizens, he will be 83 this month, and I will turn 79 in August. He used to drink a lot when he was younger and there was not a evening when he didn't go to the bars and get drunk. I told him many times that I have nothing against it if he wants to drink beer at home, but he didn't want to hear about it. Anyway he doesn't drink anymore and doesn't go to bars anymore either, all he does sit in his chair and watches TV shows that he could have watched years ago.

I am handicapped and have trouble walking and can only walk with a cane, and this very slowly. I have a degenerative disc disease, and a degenerative Hip joint disease. Our son used to take me every 2 weeks to the Commissary at Fort Campbell, Ky to shop for groceries, but now because of virus and because he doesn't have a Military ID, he can not go into the store. (his drivers license is not enough). So he goes to our Walmart Superstore which is less than 2 miles from our house, but he doesn't let me go with him. At the commissary I used to take a small cart that I was able to push and put in what I needed and he used a big cart and filled it up

God bless you for all you’ve been through and that you are still kicking. Sounds like you’ve got a good son.

Walmart’s online delivery is still quite good in these times for storable pantry foods.
