I picked the phone up as Michelle started to cry and fuss. I started to go to her when Frank told me grandma would handle her as he left the living ro...om.“Hello Rick,” I said into the phone.He asked me if I was feeling better. I told him I was and I was so sorry about last night. Rick told me I could make it up if I had dinner with him tonight. I told him I could not as we always have Sunday dinner here as a family.

I really LIKE it when YOU teach me stuff.”“You’re a very good student,” he said, playing along.“I’m motivated,” I giggled. “I love some of your subjects.”Grocery shopping. Yes, every day, millions of people go grocery shopping. I’ve done it myself, helping out Mom, or for Jay’s dad. Today, though, is the first time that I’ve shopped for MY own house. Milestone.
