At our age, on the advice of everybody < government and health officials > we are staying home in re: C V 19.
Thus, we are depending on food deliveries from a chain grocery.
The difficult part is getting a delivery slot or time < those suckers go fast and are hard to find available >

M tried her best late last night and this AM, very early. No joy. At around 11A, I was on the grocery site and thought ' why not ' and hit the icon for time slot. Unbelievably, Sunday afternoon, showed in pale green < the avialable signal >

Silly. But everyone we told said ' how did you do it '
Well, dumb blind luck
Aha, we shall see said the Zen Master !
