Nanaw went to visit Chase and play with him first thing on Saturday morning. They spent a long while playing with Chase's Play Dough collection while Mama went grocery shopping. Mama made a plan for a "benture," as Chase calls adventures. She said they would go to Home Depot to pick out and buy a new mailbox for Nanaw as her Mother's Day present. Then they would go to Penny's to pick up towels that Mama ordered online. Nanaw said she would go home to eat breakfast, then Mama and Chase would pick her up. So that's what they did. At Home Depot, Mama also bought another Tiki torch -- calling it "island guy" -- plus citronella. At Penney's, Chase wanted to stay in the car with Nanaw, and Mama was fine with that. She promised Chase they would go to Walgreen's and get a present for Chase. At Walgreen's, Chase looked around at the toys and finally selected two smash balls that you throw on the floor or counter or against the wall -- one was an eyeball and one was a brain. Mama invited Nanaw to dinner for potato soup but Nanaw respectfully declined -- Nanaw is on a diet. But later Mama said there was flour in the soup so it was good that Nanaw wasn't coming.
