Wednesday Wanderings

It is, once again, deceivingly beautiful outside today.  Our wind chill is currently about 8 degrees F, but the sun is shining and the skies are clear.  There were some flurries earlier today, but no accumulation.  I fear that is about to change.  It looks like we are either going to get a little accumulation tomorrow or we're going to get icy rain; I'd rather have the snow.

I've done my seasonal cleaning on my kitchen and laundry room (to borrow Martha's term for it), and thought I deserved to get out for a while on this gorgeous day.  With the radio playing and my shades on I could pretend it was a nice early spring day -- until I stepped out of my nicely heated car.

My first stop was the bank to make a deposit into one of our savings accounts.  This particular account is a Passbook Account, and usually I glance at my book when I get it back before I put it away.  This morning after I left the bank I drove on to Kroger and got a really, really good parking space!  But just before I got out of the car I realized I hadn't looked at my account book.  We've used this bank for many years and I can only remember one time that they made a mistake, which they corrected practically as soon as they'd made it.  But I'm a creature of habit and a victim of compulsive behavior, so there was no way I wasn't going to look at it once I'd thought of it; turns out it's a good thing I did!  I'd deposited $400, but my book showed a deposit of only $40.  So it was off to the bank again.  They apologised and corrected my deposit, and I went back to Kroger.  My five star parking space was gone, of course, but there was one just a couple down, so that wasn't too bad.

After a little shopping there I went to Wal-Mart and splurged on a few little items for myself.  I bought some clear plastic storage totes, too, because you can never have too many of those, and I plan to continue my seasonal cleaning, room by room, so they may come in handy.

Well, I'm off to get some lunch, but I'll be back.  I have a few entries I want to make today.  Til later!

Good thing you checked that bank account.  That mistake could have caused real problems for you on the bank's part! I came back to see if I could not scroll down and read on of your entries on a sister, so here I go.   Gerry'
