Endal's helpful, but wouldn't have been tall enough for today's deed.

The project:
Grab some groceries off the top shelf for a sister shopper in a wheelchair.
Time:
Moments.
Why bother?
She really wanted that juice, but couldn't reach it with her bad shoulders, she said. Would I be so kind? Of course!
"Do you need anything else," I asked.
"The rest of my groceries," she quipped with a laugh.
I'm sure there was some truth to her joke. I would love to have stuck around and shopped with her. It was the perfect opportunity. But the girls and I were running (very) short on time before their lessons, so I felt we had to press on.
Worth it?
Yes. It's probably really tough to have to ask for help so often, and of strangers who might just ignore you. I wish we could've stayed to help her with the rest. Would've made her day, and been entertaining for us all. (With three of us, we probably could have helped her wrap it up in record time!)
