Disappointment and Reprieve

This is a bit of a catch up blog so that you will understand some of our current concerns. The last of March first of April for a "last fling/spring break" vacation we got a fun young women from our ward to stay with Grandma and went to Texas to visit the Parkinson family and pick out a new travel trailer at the largest dealer in the nation.

We had a really good time at the Parkinsons swimming and visiting, and picked out a great 5th wheel. We wanted a floor plan in the Harry Potter tent idea but had to contend with reality. There are no perfect floor designs but we felt we got the best compromise. Since it was in a huge showroom they only take them out and rearrange every two weeks so we couldn't take it home with us as we had planned. We made plans to pick it up when we came back to Alec's graduation.

A couple of weeks later when we were trying to get in touch with the dealer we discovered that they had gone out of business. They had some money and our trailer. Dad did have the phone number of the salesman we worked with. He called and found our salesman was very surprised to be out of work but was gracious in giving us suggestions of what to do. We called the manufacturer and because we had all the info on the trailer they were able to locate it and get it shipped to another dealer in the same area. Unfortunately we had by this time purchased plane tickets for Alec's graduation and couldn't pick up the trailer at that time. We are still trying to get our down payment back, but we have a 5th wheel somewhere south of Dallas.

Here a the couple of pic. I remembered to take. I only used my cell phone and sometimes those don't turn out all that well.

Megan and friends ready for the Church Prom. I got to help a little with the dress Jenny was sewing for her. It was beautiful and a lot of work, and didn't quite get finished in time.


PS...... We just found out that Visa has gotten our down payment money back. Hurray!
