Passport Application

We started working on renewing our passports a year or so ago.  We picked up the forms, stored them in a place we could remember and then put it off.  We finally decided to get serious about the renewal and downloaded the forms and got all the documents we needed for the renewal.

So it was off to the Post Office to finalize getting the passports.  We called a couple days ago and the person on the phone said to just come in and they would process the forms.  When we got there today they said we had to make an appointment.  WHAT!  I told the lady behind the counter that we had been told we didn't need an appointment and that is why we came to that post office.  After a little whining on my part she agreed to help us.  We had all the forms filled out, all needed documents and presented them to her.  A few minutes and $$$$ later we turned it all over to the clerk and we should have new passports in 3 weeks.  Great.

A quick trip to Michaels craft store for Gerry to pick up some much needed supplies and then we headed back to the park.  We did buy some gas at Costco for $3.43/gallon which was cheaper than the $3.59/gallon at the local Fry's grocery store.  I know it is much more expensive in other states, so I am not complaining too much.

We went for coffee and donuts at the clubhouse this morning and bought chances on the lucky buck drawing.  No luck there, someone else won it.  There are a number of people heading back to the cold and gloomy weather up north.  My only question is:  WHY?  The weather around here has been great and only will get better in the next two months.  To each his own.  I wish them well.
