Gotta love those senior moments.
A few months ago, my husband and I took our car into the tire shop to have new tires put on it. He drove it into town while I followed, driving our truck. While the car was getting fixed, we went to a movie and afterward, when we picked up the car, I decided to stop at the grocery store, taking the truck while Jerry paid for the tires and drove the car home.
