Here are some thoughts about our first ten days of wintering in NC.
- Having your mail forwarded by the U.S. Postal Service sucks. Very slow in delivery. A better option is to have all your mail forwarded once a week rather than piece by piece delivery. We have only received one piece of mail in ten days.
- The traffic signals can be confusing. It takes a long time to make left turns. No Michigan lefts here but you can make U-turns at intersections.
- When Jo goes shopping with Rachelle I have to remind her that the car was full when we came here.
- The sun rises much earlier here than in MI but sets about the same time.
- Haven’t lived in an apartment/condo/townhouse in 40 years. Takes awhile to get use to hearing your neighbors flush their toilet.
- Tracfones are an inexpensive alternative to a second phone but only work when they are turned on.
- Glad I brought some basic tools with me. There is always something that needs to be fixed even in a rental.
- You can talk to a human being when you call FedEx. This is important so they can explain to you how their system works. It works just as stated on their website – no exceptions.
- Thankful I have the Easons taking care of the homestead.
- The local cable company’s basic service leaves a lot to be desired. You get what you pay for.
- Really enjoying spending time with Nolan – oh, with Rachelle & Josh too.
