Taking care of Parents

I received a phone call from my Step Mother this afternoon. She never calls me. She started the conversation by asking if I was enjoying the sunshine. I said YES, knowing there was something else behind the question. What she proceeded to ask was, "Your Dad needs new shoes and where did I get the bags for garbage under the kitchen sink" "When are you leaving for San Juan and when can you come over and take us shopping." Hope the Sunshine stays around.
