Some of our services for seniors include a van to take them shopping, otherwise you are on your own.<br /><br />Hauling a weeks worth of groceries in a cart sounds daunting.<br /><br />DarlaDarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604117.post-19436874635169833322010-11-05T13:38:09.474+11:002010-11-05T13:38:09.474+11:00Damn them, it's like the endless phone waiting...Damn them, it's like the endless phone waiting when they tell you that you are important to them, and then lay muzak.<br />I couldn't get around without my car, to walk The Labradors or get anywhere.
