More Adventures

Maybe you will realize that my use of the word Adventure indicates experiencing a problem.  I like to try to keep a good attitude and look on problems as only another experience to learn from.  A addendum to the last problem.  We learned that since our key is a 'general' key and opens the outside doors to the building, if we had lost it all of the keys in the whole building would have needed replacement and could have cost over $2000.  We were so blessed!

Yesterday when we tried to get some more money our card would not work at the ATM.  We tried several different banks with the same result.  Our debit card from our home credit union is our only access to money since we have not opened an account here. We wondered is there might be some problem at home since we knew we had money in the account because we check it online everyday.  Today our card still did not work so we sent an email to our credit union at about 3 our time (which was 6 a.m. in Idaho).  We heard back from Melissa Cook at KCCU about 7 p..m. (10 at home) which means as soon as she got to work she addressed our problem and it sounds like this took a while. As soon as we heard we took another walk in the snow and the dark into town to see if perhaps we could find an accessible ATM.  Luckily the banks have their machines in the lobby so people can access them outside of banking hours and it worked!  She solved our dilemma. Thank you KCCU and Melissa. I love being from a small town where people care.
