The torn cheque


 I was careless opening the mail the other day and didn't realize I was tearing a cheque by mistake.  I took it to the bank teller and she taped it up and deposited it for me!  Many people now just take photos and deposit their cheques via their phone apps, but I am not comfortable doing that yet.  It is a lack of trust of the security.

So my friend A came by a couple of weeks ago for her birthday walk.  We ended up having coffee and a snack in my backyard afterward.  The weather was gorgeous, on the cooler side.  It was a lot better than getting takeout coffee from the coffee shop in these times.

And today is officially the first day of FALL!

I'm not comfortable with the over the phone deposit either. Glad you got it deposited okay.

I'm sure you and I are ones of many who've done this!
I seldom get a check these days, though. Hooray for tape.

Hi, I'm here from Wanda's blog.
I feel the same as you about certain things going directly to the bank in person.
Yesterday I had to deposit some cash and a check. I didn't want to deposit it through the ATM..didn't feel comfortable doing that..so I made a trip to our local bank...
Due to COVID it was closed!!
I had to use the ATM anyway.
I was not a happy camper.
Thankfully I saw the deposit was officially in my account.
Wanting to do things the old way is difficult for me of a certain age.
Love your blog.

So glad my friend Sue visited your blog. She's a sweetheart. I too am old fashioned when it comes to banking.

I have a good relationship with our bank here. Lot of this electronic stuff I am not comfortable with.

With the virus making us fearful of going to many closed spaces, Art has started depositing checks online which as worked for us.

Pleased you were still able to bank it.
Coffee and a snack in your backyard after the walk sounds good.

All the best Jan
