Cards

My wallet is stuffed with cards.  Yours, too, I bet.   Today I pulled two of them out and called in change of address.  These were two easy ones:  AAA and AARP.

That successfully done, I took my passport and tax statement to the library to see if that was i.d. enough for a card.  It was!   I feel whole again with a library card in my wallet.   Our local branch is very small, but it’ll still take me a while to read through it.  The big branch is downtown Bradenton, an area I have yet to learn.   One of these days.

The condo association is hosting a BBQ on Labor Day.  I signed up to bring a dessert.  Luckily,  my mixer bowls have not yet arrived, so I was forced to buy something yummy.   There is a GFS a couple of miles away.  This is a Michigan-based company that supplies restaurants but is also open for regular shoppers.   I picked up some peanut butter brownies.  Look fab.   I probably won’t try to pass them off as homemade, but they look as if they could be.

New bank account is functioning well:  ATM card works;  checks have arrived all properly printed;  the on-line account management system is easy to use; and the folks at the bank are very friendly.  Oh, and it’s only a three minute drive from our home.  Still need to transfer my direct deposits to the new account, but no hurry.

Next biggie is the DMV:   license, car registration, anything else they want.   Need to get insurance, of course.  There is a proper order to these things and I’ve been too lazy to figure it out yet.

Last hurdle is finding doctors.  We’ve located a highly recommended cardiology practice;  need to drive over and check it out, see about getting appointments.  I also need a GP;  oops,  Primary Care Doctor.

A step at a time.  We’ll be full Floridians before you know it.
