Yesterday we saw some new neighbors move in across the street.  Teri and I went over with a pan of freshly baked brownies to welcome them to the neighborhood.  We told them that if they needed any advice about what to see and do, or who to go to for things like Satellite TV Providers and cell phone companies, garbage collectors etc.  You know, the whole nine yards type of thing.  Their names are Jack and Susan, and we found out that they are nurses that have just moved from New York to work in the local hospital.

They seemed to be a very nice couple and they thanked us for the brownies.  They invited us in to share them with a nice tall cold glass of milk.  We got to know their two dogs while we were there; very cute Jack Russel Terriers.   Jack did ask us about whether Direct TV Satellite was the best option for television services in this neighborhood.  He said that he wanted Direct TV for a long time and could not get it where he used to live because of covenants against the antennas in his neighborhood. 

I told him that he shouldn’t have any problems at all with that; there are no covenants against antennas in our neighborhood.  He was really glad to hear that and said he’ll be ordering his television service tomorrow morning!

My sister gave me a Dairy Queen gift card last month for my birthday.  Today Teri and I were driving past a Dairy Queen and we decided to swing in and buy some Dilly Bars and eat lunch.  So we placed the order and I presented the gift card to the cashier to pay for the purchase.  Imagine my surprise when they told me that they don’t accept gift cards at their store!  I couldn’t believe it!  Needless to say we were quite upset and we put the Dilly Bars back in the freezer and simply paid for our lunch.  I guess I’ll have to go online and find another Dairy Queen and ask them if they accept the gift cards!
