RV Placement and Compromised Card

"He who hath many friends hath none." 

 

I mentioned the other day that Tammi and Robert bought a recreational lot.  Usually with a recreational lot you either put a tent on it, have an RV brought in or build a cabin.  First, of course, there is always a lot of work to do.  If you’re going to do more than tent, you need a sewer, water and electricity.  Thank goodness for them those were already installed even though they weren’t necessarily working and of course, when repair people came out to fix the problems, they created lots of mud.

This is the mud that was created.

This is how they had to bring in their trailer.

This is Terry helping them.  

He really did a lot more including having to level the trailer.  That in itself was a big job since the ground wasn't close to being flat.

As you can tell, we haven’t just been putting in doors, building porches and placing block. Terry's been pretty busy at Tammi's lot doing lots of odd jobs over there.  Some gravel has been spread.  I got the fun job.  My job was to drive up and down on it a zillion times with my Jag 4x4.  We wanted to be sure Robert’s truck didn’t get stuck in it when they rolled in on Friday.   I wasn’t in the rain and I got to do the wheelies!

Then …. Friday I got a phone call while I was at the doctor with Terry.  It was from our bank.  There was no message .. nothing.  It was just enough to make me a little worried.  You know how that goes especially if you’re a worry-wart.  I called the bank back.  Evidently our bank card had been compromised ….. again!  It seems one of the little terminals I had swiped it in had information stolen or maybe it was just a glitch.  Visa doesn’t tell them the problem just that there was a problem.  The new cards had already been mailed.  So what if they mailed it the day before, it isn’t going to be where we’re at before the trip we’re taking in a few days.  So, it was off to a branch of our bank for a replacement card and plenty of cash because we all know not every place is going to honor a temporary visa.  Maybe it’ll just mean the American Express gets more usage than normal.  Aargh! 

We’ve been doing lots of other things.  One of those things was making my annual spring trip to the tulip gardens as part of the cheerleading squad for Sabrina and Jordie.   I love going not only to watch them but to see the spring flowers.  I especially love tulips and daffodils.   This fall I’m planting a bunch of daffodil bulbs because deer don’t eat daffodils.  However, the annual Tulip Trot and tulip festival will just have to wait until my next blog … as usual, time is getting away from me.  There’s another side to that too …. I accidentally deleted most of the gorgeous pictures taken with my phone at the Tulip Festival.  I have to borrow some.
