Love this thread, I'm envious of you as my mom passed away last year and those are the kind of memories I have of our shopping trips. She lived 300 miles away and we saw each other only a few times a year and was almost deaf so we couldn't have a conversation on the phone. My mom used to take half an hour to get down one isle in store because she had to talk to everyone she saw whether she knew them or not and if there was a baby oh my there went another 15 minutes.
