April 21, 2014 Errands, Again

How can it take one whole day to run errands?  That is what we did today.  It seems as we have this happens every week.  Oh well, all we would do is be at home if we weren't running errands. What else do we have to do?

Of course, the first stop was Verizon Wireless, which took an hour.  We had a question about a call from my phone to Grand Cayman Island for 18 minutes and was charged $32.  My advice: if caller ID shows a call from a area code you are not familiar with, don't answer.  I remember getting an email from Verizon telling us that spammers from a foreign country can use an area code from the USA, and the call then costs many bucks.  All the spammer does is verify an active number.

Verizon stepped to the plate and gave a fifty percent discount on the call.

Forecast from early in the day indicated that more than likely soccer practice at 5:30 would be rained out.  Nope!  No rain--at that time.  We picked up the kids, took them home, and got Zade ready for practice.  Darin got home in time to go to practice.  Glen went with Zade and Darin.

As Ashlynn said "all the girls stayed home!" Sarah's mother came by for a few minutes.  

We received the following pictures from daughter Trisha, taken on Easter Sunday.

We helped Darin move/rearrange furniture in Ashlynn's room this evening.  A student desk was moved in her room.  She is so-o-o excited.  Now she has a place to "do homework"---and color--and draw pictures--and write notes.  If a project involves, pencil, pen, colored pencils, markers, colors, she is happy.
