We are still working on getting the credit card issues straight. We have one set of new credit union cards, another set is "in the mail" and we were able to find out the new account number so we could pay the bill. I've got all the auto pays changed so I think we may be making some progress. Let's hope the other set of cards shows up in Tuesday's mail or we get to start all over. We are certainly not looking forward to that.
On our walk every day, Maggie and I encounter dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments being walked by their person or persons. We also encounter cats being walked on a leash, but a lot less frequently. There is a guy who walks with his parrot on his shoulder but we haven't seen him of late. This week it was a pig. Yep, a pig. I'm told it is called a "teacup" pig. It is maybe 25 pounds and about the height of Maggie and is definitely a pig. We did have to do a double take when we saw it, for sure. Not often we run into something other than cats and dogs. Maggie never really got close enough to have any kind of reaction as she was busy with her nose to the ground following scents.
Roger got to play with a new Samsung tablet the last couple of days. Our neighbor bought one and asked for some help getting it ready for use . Roger agreed and put on some apps that he wanted and got his email straightened out. He uses his phone right now to play games and email but wanted something bigger. Rog says he's glad he got the chance to play with it because it helped him realize he didn't really need/want one - too much "work" getting it ready. He's recently bought himself a new camera that he is busy trying to learn. Hopefully soon we will share some fantastic photos of something with you!
Yesterday, late in the day, Steph and Pierce came down from Long Beach to visit. They stayed the night and then headed home after lunch today. Pierce had to be at work this evening or I think they might have stayed longer. We really enjoyed having them and catching up on their lives. We managed a FaceTime with Roger's sister and her husband in Michigan which was fun. They've not met Pierce and haven't seen Steph in three years. It was a lot of laughs. Mostly it seems so strange to talk and visit with your grandchildren who relate as adults. They are super people and we share a lot of interests, believe it or not. We caught up on family news from their Christmas trip to Reno and they shared with us their plans for the future. Mostly it's to get Stephanie graduated (this coming May), spend a year getting her teaching certifications and student teaching, and then see where her job opportunities take them. She is so dedicated and focused on what she wants to do and seems so grown up. I know when I was 23, I had no ambition other than to survive being a new mother. She's quite a kid!
The coyotes have returned. Up until now we haven't heard them, but last night it seemed as if there was a whole pack just outside the RV. Maggie was on alert and the kids said they kept peeking outside to see if they could see them as they thought they were right under the window.
Maybe next week will have something akin to an adventure and some photos. Have no idea what yet, but maybe a trip down to Balboa Park for the day. They are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Worlds Exposition that it was built for and are having some special events. Stay tuned......
