August 9, 2018 Thursday "Success!"

It rained through the night and most of this morning, which made for good sleeping.  There was nearly 1.24 inches of rain, which was needed.


After a light breakfast, Glen dove in to an unfinished project.  There was still half a page of names that needed our new address.

After many phone calls:  
there is dealing with the unavoidable "push one for English, push two for Spanish".

• "Is this your current phone number?"
• "Please state your reason for calling." Etc.  "What is your mother's maiden name?"

• "you have reached us on one of our busiest days."
• "your call is important to us.  One of our technicians will be in touch with you in order of the calls we receive."
• "wait time is 13 or 24 or 57 minutes."
• "you may wait in line on hold, or leave a phone number and someone will return your call.  You will not lose your place in line.  It will be 45-57 minutes for your return call."

Patience is needed for this task.  Patience might have been in short supply at some point in the day!

But, at the end of the day, all contacts had been made.

If you need/want our new address, please leave a comment below or on Messenger/Facebook.  I don't want to post it here as this is a public blog.

We spent the afternoon outdoors, visiting with the Schnakenbergs and Morrows.  

Tomorrow is Teresa and Forrest's last full day here.
