Waiting

Today something wonderful happened: someone called to tell me that my wallet was found! A sense of relief and gratitude washed over me. The man on the phone (Moe) said that his brother had found my wallet. It was in Norman, OK, that I evidently dropped it while we were out on our walk. The brother (Ali) is a recent immigrant, so he brought the wallet to Moe to ask what they should do with it.

Evidently Moe looked in the wallet and found my information card, which indicates that Ken should be called in case of emergency. Hallelujah! This kind guy offered to go to the post office this afternoon and mail the wallet to me here at New Horizons.

When we walked over to talk to Ken in service, we stopped by the customer lounge (aka home away from home when someone's trailer is being worked on). There we found Paul and Kathy, whom we had met on an earlier trip. We also introduced ourselves to a couple we hadn't seen before: Steve and Gary. They are here for their one year warranty work.



We went over our punch list with Ken U. He said that someone would start work on our trailer in an hour or two, and we should be prepared to fold the unit up and leave it. The guys will be putting it into a service bay to work on it (don't blame them a bit--it's cold outside!) We heard the wind and "wintry mix" that fell during the night, and we woke to find ice and snow outside. Paul and Kathy said it had been 88° when they were hiking on Saturday. A serious cold front has moved in, and we're expecting a low in the low 20s tonight.

Ken came by this afternoon to say that work on our unit won't happen until tomorrow morning. We'll get out of bed early, prepare the rig for moving, and go over to the customer lounge for the day.

This morning we looked out to a snowy scene and found ice and snow on our steps. Ken had to scrape the windows before he could move the truck.
