Nat had ISTEP testing this week, and since she is doing the online high school, Beth had to take her to Elkhart to do it.  Monday and Tuesday, they had to get up early and take a road trip. Beth had to wait around until it was over, so she tried to get something done and get Nat’s new social security card (since the office is in Elkhart) but of course they needed more documents than we had. I need to get a copy of the adoption decree with a raised seal, and medical records to prove identity and residency. So, another trip when we have those…..I finally got Beth onto Red Pocket this week, after months of procrastinating, and remembered why I’d been procrastinating as Beth’s service was off for a few days. There are some weird rules about moving a number from Verizon to a Verizon MVNO, so first we had to switch her to a Sprint MVNO network for a day, then switch her again to the Verizon MVNO. It’s a pain, and she couldn’t make or receive any calls until the porting process was finished. It took a few days, and no information came from the new network about when it would be done. Anyway, it’s done now, so we should save about $50 a month on phone service…..Saturday was leap day! We were all ready to get out of the house and do something, but there weren’t a whole lot of ideas, but we thought Rocket Science would be fun, so we went to Nappanee first for some ice cream. Coppes Commons was open, which it usually isn’t when we’re there, so we spent some time looking around (there is a really cool cue-ball clock in one hallway!). There are a lot of places to get a snack, and a lot of places to get country craft things there. And there is a cabinetry museum upstairs from the golden years of Nappanee furniture. I thought that was interesting but nobody else did. After that, we went to Hobby Lobby at Concord Mall. Alex and I were done with it long before the girls, so we went out to explore the mall, which is almost as dead as a mall can get, it seems. Walking in to the mall entrance from Hobby Lobby, I felt like I was walking back in time to West Main Mall in Kalamazoo in the 70s. The décor has not been updated since the place was built, I’d imagine, and is amazingly dated. Nearly every store front was empty, except a few, and there was a poster in the directory display that dated from 2005. After we were all done there we had dinner at Chili’s and went home…..
