Income Tax Time

Here it is, tax time again. Everyone is complaining about their high taxes. I used to say we should be thankful if we have to pay some tax because it means we made some money. When you get to the time of life you don't have enough income to pay tax, that means you don't have much money either. Unless you are one of the fortunate ones who put away lots for retirement, or inherited money or something like that. It's tough living on a fixed income but you can do it if you just try. You need to have good health insurance and prescription insurance and you will never make it. I am blessed to have both.

Valentine's Day

Saturday, February 14, will be Valentine's Day. Will you be buying flower, jewelry, candy or something else for your Valentine? I think it is a commercial Holiday thought up by people in order to sell more stuff for that day than they would ordinarily. I don't have a Valentine any more and I miss him. We never did really celebrate Valentine's Day very often. I was talking to someone this morning that said the same thing. They don't do anything special for that day. Others go out for a steak supper or something like that. It is fun for those who do celebrate Valentine's Day.

Groundhog Day

Here it is again. Groundhog Day today. And guess what? He saw his shadow (shock) and we will have 6 more weeks of winter. I don't remember in my lifetime when we didn't have 6 more weeks of winter. Tomorrow promises more snow. It is going to be a long Spring the way it is going. February can be a very cold brutal month. We look forward to June when it will probably really warm up. May can be cold and rainy too sometimes. Easter outfits are covered with winter coats, mittens and scarves. Not alot of fun.

Birthdays and Christmas too

Celebrated the first birthday for a little great granddaughter, then followed by a delicious Christmas supper. Next we went to a church program with 3 of my great grandchildren in it. It was really good. Cookies and punch were served after. Next we had Christmas at one of my daughters and had a good time with all her kids and their kids. Was quite a crowd, lots of wonderful food and fun. We also went to their church and saw the kids program for Christmas. That was great to be able to go as the weather hadn't really been cooperating very well all month. Ending the Month, we had another Christmas dinner with most of my children, and more grandchildren and great grandchildren. Had a fun gift exchange game.

Merry Christmas

Here it is December 1st already. Thanksgiving came late making for a short shopping time before Christmas. The families are growing so big that it is almost impossible to get them all together any more. That's not all bad because I can attend more than one Christmas dinner. Black Friday shopping is over and guess it wasn't as good as the merchants thought it would be. Now it is Cyber Monday and they are hoping it will make up for less spending on Black Friday. It is a good day to stay in and shop on the computer as it is only 9 degrees with a bitter NW wind and the wind chill is below -20. You can freeze your face in minutes in this cold. I am very happy to stay in the nice warm house and watch TV and snack, haha.

Snow and Cold

We got 2 1/2 inches of snow last night. It is the most so far but it is 6 weeks early. I hope that doesn't mean we are in for a very long cold winter. It was only 7 degrees this morning and is way up to 9 :0) now. It is very sunny out. That is very deceiving as it is also very cold. The neighbor cleared the snow in front of the garage doors. The landlord cleared the driveway with his big skidloader blade. I pushed the snow off the deck early when I got the Sunday paper in. There is a beautiful blue sky to enjoy.
