taxes

Something that's been bothering me for a long time...and I don't know the answer.

Every year when I renew my property tax insurance, I have to make out the check to Anne Gannon.   Now it seems to me I should just write the insurance to tax collector...but not to someone's name.

I've lived here for 22 years and in all that time this has troubled me.   And so now...I'm finally addressing this issue.

Wonder how I can figure out this answer??????

When I pay my IRS check, I don't mail it to President Obama...or any one person in the treasury department.

Yes, I read your blog on taxes.  I never thought about it before.  Does she have to endorse her name on each check?  Too much to think about. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - -

The Menu

How I detest a menu!  Definitely not the kind you are handed in a restaurant....but the menu on a telephone.

Press 1 if you wish to speak English.
Press 2 for Spanish
Press 3 if you ... whatever
Press 4 if you're not getting anywhere...and then an operator will come on and make you feel like you aren't able to handle the former steps.

Please, my readers, if you feel this way...let me know and I won't feel so....so like I don't get it.

I like a good old fashioned voice, speaking in a kindly voice, letting me tell my story to ... so that she's able to assist.

Maybe I was just born in the wrong century.   I was discussing this with my cousin Davi...and she agreed completely.    And maybe ...this would employ another person on a payroll, rather than a computer.

Everytime I mess up!

 Hi my sweet readers.  This is Virginia, my friend, neighbor, and fixer of all my problems.

I explain to V just how I messed up...she studies the  situation ... and makes some phone calls...studies the problem in her mind again....and she achieves peace of mind for me.

Thanks, my dear dear friend!  No I'm not going to divulge how I mishandled something.   I'm just going to add that Virginia gave me strict orders...not to let any salesperson in my front door that wasn't invited by me.

This episode makes me appear to be an idiot...but I'm really not...just very naïve...that's why Virginia was sent to live next door to me.

Hello YOU!

Why my evening was sensational yesterday....I was 'Skyped'...and it was the 4 day old Shane, my great grand nephew.  He was sleeping of course...BUT I SAW HIM! 

What a miracle thing this Skype is...I not only saw my precious newborn...but I visited with his mom and dad...and Paul and Barbara, his grandparents.

My Father's name was Sam...and Shane is named for him.

The Walter middle name is Barbara's father...and the beat goes on.

As the song goes...I took one look at him...that's all I had to do....and then my heart stood still.  I fell in love with this new little infant in this gigantic universe.   He's ours!   He has our DNA....he's our new little baby.

Thank you, God!
