Would You Like A Gift Receipt?

Two weeks ago yesterday, Jim and I went to look at a HUGE double wide mobile home to put on the property. It was a deal of a lifetime, so we did not hesitate to write the security deposit check on the spot and arrange for closing that Friday. When Friday arrived, I bowed out of the closing opting to go shopping with Meagan and Kelli instead. Jim met with the mobile home distributors and completed all the paperwork. On Tuesday he met with the mover to see where it would fit and what trees needed to come down. On Saturday morning we still had four trees to remove (three were dead and just needed to be cut before they fell), so all five of us got up early and cut, hauled, burned, etc. until we had the place cleaned up for the arrival of the trailer that evening or early the next morning. By late afternoon, the work was completed and we were on pins and needles wondering when the trailer would be arriving. We had friends drop by to see our new home, which still had not arrived. Jim made a few phone calls, but was unable to do more than leave voice messages. As we sat around the fire and discussed the situation, Jim and I began to wonder if perhaps we had been scammed. How many other people had this deal of a lifetime been offered to? Was the trailer ever really for sale? Far fetched ideas tend to take over when you are impatiently waiting for something. As we sat and talked about all the absurd ideas that were popping into our heads, Albert made a comment about having the title and thus everything was okay. Jim responded with, "The title is being filed with the state, and I don't have a copy." Albert's promptly replied, "But you have a receipt don't you?" At this point, I had to bust out laughing. I have a receipt for my new home, ya'll!
