Cousins

 

The Browns came to visit this weekend!  Mikey and Sophie did the Fire Road with Craig yesterday.  I can't believe that Sophie, a 9-year-old, could ride a mountain bike 40 miles up and down the mountains.  While they did that, Tonya and I took the rest of the kids - except for  Ellie, she was working - to the St George Childrens Museum and had lunch in the park.  I like taking the kids to the museum when they have friends or cousins to play with, because it means I can sit on a bench and rest instead of being pulled from room to room.  

Last night Craig and I went out with Tonya and Mikey to Rustys for dinner and then came home and sat on the porch in the fading light.   That was nice.  Until Mom called and said that someone created a fraudulent check from her account and was able to cash it for $5000.00.  She is working with the fraud services from her bank to file a report and try to get her money back.  We are wondering if there is an employee from the retirement place where she lives who is doing this.  A year ago Craig and I sent her a check which she never received.  Someone else got hold of it and changed the amount to $800 and changed the name and was able to cash it.  I hate stuff like that.  Makes you feel like humanity is bad and can't be trusted.  AND WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD STEAL FROM A 69 YEAR OLD WOMAN?????
