Never on Fridays
We had a busy but fun day. First thing this morning we drove to Lakeland for yet another visit to the dentist, and my dentures actually seem okay now.
Next, we went to the Sprint store and changed our service plan. We lowered our minutes and banned text messaging. We never can figure out how to read or send text messages and neither of us can imagine why anyone would use them. We just want to talk on our phones, not play games, take pictures or surf the net. Prices are already outrageous and all those extra things just cost more.
We topped our outing off with a visit to the Fresh Harvest Buffet. Excellent lunch!
When we got home, I spent 40 minutes on the phone with Buena Vista, Colorado prison personnel. The prison web site lists visiting days as Friday through Sunday, and we planned our visit to son Scott for Friday, June 20. But now we get a letter from Scott saying they can't have visits on Fridays. Athena has to be back here by Monday, so we can't wait until Saturday to visit, hence my calls to the prison to try to make alternate arrangements.
One after another, each person I talked to sent me to someone else. Finally, I was given the number of the man with the power to make this happen (or so they say) but his secretary says he's on vacation this week. At last, she suggests I put my request in writing and FAX it to them. I am praying someone will take pity on us and set up this visit. Julia was all set to bring Wyatt so we could take him in to see his dad. This visit is really important to us and to Scott and Wyatt. I am praying, and I'd love you to pray for us on this, too.
We just finished watching Sister Act. Yeah, I know it's an old, old movie and we've already seen it, but we enjoyed it all over again.
