Day 163 and I think Summer's Here

Wow, the heat is on, isn't it?! It went from being mild to feeling like we're roasting in an oven. This is great news for the farmers, they can finish getting their wheat out. It's also good news for my kids, maybe we'll finally get to play in the sprinkler!

I have several speakers lined up for the child care association, in fact I got them lined up through the end of this year, I've just got January, Feb., and March of next year to worry about. I feel good about that. Still have to get to work on getting the stuff ready for the club audit and get the July budget ready.

Can you believe that I spent 50 minutes on the phone today trying to get Tom's phone delivered to our address? Because we don't have street delivery in Pond Creek, the USPS doesn't have our address in their system and so the cell phone company wouldn't deliver to our house. But they've had it delivered to our house before. So guess what we had to end up doing? Sending it to the post office here in town's street address. I called and the postmaster said it was fine. What a pain in the hiney!

When we were selling phones we had the same problem. When we would enter someone's information into the computer, if they had an address that didn't have home mail delivery, the system wouldn't accept the address. You wouldn't believe how many people "lived" at our address. No one in Lamont had an address that the computer would recognize. It was very frustrating!!

Well, the thing I didn't (and still don't) understand and noone could answer for me-was why sometimes they would deliver it to this address and sometimes not. When we upgraded Josh's phone last summer, we ended up having to send it to Granite because of the same nonsense. That wasn't a big deal since he was in Granite anyway. Then when we upgraded another phone a few months later, they delivered it here without a word. Now this again. One piece of information that might come in handy, the postmaster did say that we could our street address put on the rural list so that this didn't happen again. We'll still get our mail at our p.o. box, but that's supposed to keep it from happening again.
