A day on the telephone

We took our constitutional and then attended our park meeting. A representative from Payne Motors spoke and brought several prizes to give away (we didn’t win any). The astounding thing was that today was his 93rd birthday! He claimed to have retired but keeps coming year after year. Evelyn talked with the activities coordinator and submitted her resignation as queen of Ladies Leisure. We also learned that there will be another activities coordinator next year too. Nearly everything will change. I had already resigned as parking director. I paid for our tickets to the Barbara Fairchild concert. She is a gospel singer who gets $25 for performance in Branson. She is charging only $5 for concerts in the Valley. We left there and went first to the welder to see what he had designed as a stone deflector for the Saturn. He proposed that we use plexiglass because it is somewhat light enough to lift. He will get some from Borderland Hardware later in the week. We left there and went to Elsa to get Evelyn’s new glasses. Unfortunately they are closed Mondays. We came back and delivered the communion trays to Ranchero Village. The woman in charge is retiring too but suggested we collect a special offering to buy our own trays. I might try that approach but hate to get the materials if I decide to retire from that job. On the way out of the park, I saw a van that advertised on site RV repair. We talked and he said he could deal with the extended warranty company so I promised to come home and call them to see if they would cover all expenses including a service call. I did that and found that they would if the coach was immobile. I called him later and gave him all of the information he needed for the company. We came home and had a light lunch of no nothing soup and cheese bread. We stayed home in the afternoon. I made more calls and tried to contact the health insurance company but couldn’t get anyone to answer. I got an elaborate message center that rejected me 7 times. I finally e-mailed them but have no idea when I will learn anything. I also set up an new account with our Chase cards so I can pay them on line. All this took most of the afternoon, counting “hold” time. We had dinner of our final portion of King Ranch casserole left from our caroling party from before Christmas. It was delicious and I hated to see that it was all gone. We took bike rides and then spent some time copying pictures to send to Mom. We don’t do much in the evenings unless there is church or a dance or we have guests as we will tomorrow.
