MAIL

There's good mail and bad mail.  I got some good mail that ended up bad yesterday, but today's mail made up for it.  And I'm not talking about bills.

We have been waiting to find out what we are going to get back from our home owner's insurance.  We were hoping to get a fair amount to cover the tree removal, fix the fence, and then some.  They sent us the paperwork yesterday explaining how much we were going to get and what the estimate and deductibles are.  We will receive less then the tree removal cost us. Fortunately not much less, but still we are paying out of pocket, so it's a good thing we went with the cheapest people that didn't seem reliable at first.
On to the next piece of mail, which I had been waiting for to plan our anniversary.  We are a part of a group that gives us a time share once a year 3 days 2 nights.  We have not used it before, but it let's us choose where we wanna go.  So I received more information on where we can go and I fill out information and call for reservations.  After three phone calls I reach a real person and tell them the information on the form and my choices on where I want to go.  She comes back on the line to tell me she has no information on those places and that I can go to Orlando or Fort Lauderdale.  I thought she meant to plan my trip, but no out of the 50 options I have they can only plan my time share at 2 places I don't want to go.  She told me I could send in the form for more information, but they can't gurantee anything.  I was very disappointed and upset that I now have no plans for our anniversary.

Today's mail the check came in from insurance, so it was nice to not have to wait any longer for that money.
And we received a letter with no return address telling us to have a good day.  It contained a gift certificate to publix and was signed by "A Friend."  I was so grateful I teared up.
