A few years ago, I experienced snow in Shelby, North Carolina. I did not awaken to snow this morning but it was cold and frosty. We haven’t seen the sun all day, and we’ve had misting rain. ~~ Imagine this: Within a couple of days we should have temperatures in the 70’s. ~~ Less than one year ago, we had snow in Waxhaw, North Carolina. ~~ Check the blog message about Unwelcome Visitor.
Good news!! I now have a “hot spot” in my tiny trailer (on a cold day, LOL) and I’m composing this message from the comfort of my cozy home. No more trips to the CARE dining room to use free WiFi. Yippee!! ~~ Recently I purchased a Verizon 4-G “thing-a-ma-jig” from another RVer (trusting I’d be able to get it activated). On the recommendation of other RVers, I drove to Cleveland, Texas, this morning and a nice young man–at a Verizon store–worked his magic. Fortunately, I was able to get a monthly payment plan and wasn’t forced to sign a two-year contract. A Christmas gift to myself!!
Prearranged, first thing this morning (8:00 o’clock), I was in the office of my agent for new vehicle insurance. You’ve heard my story about TracFone Nightmare; you’ve followed my search for a larger trailer as my “until I die” home. You’ve sympathized with my weird work schedule and followed my struggle to get the KIA & T@B licensed in Texas. I did not burden you with the equally frustrating battle over insurance. Texas does not… correction, Amica does not want to insure my tiny travel trailer if I am “living” in it. So, step-by-step, I’ve accomplished the necessary tasks and today we created new policies. Bye-bye Amica. ~~ True story: I’ve never enjoyed face-to-face service with Amica; always over the phone. It is delightful to have a nice lady to coach me through the troublesome details!!
Tomorrow, weather permitting, my new (used) trailer should be delivered.
