New isn't always necessary.

Big girls do cry.

Taxing

Trying to decide if we should do our taxes and save $150 or more but with Glenn working a few days from home, will I know how to deduct business expenses. Turbo text me with the answers.

No News

Still no word on the pump for the pool. Extra time = a lot less money.

Score

While Glenn watched some playoff football, I checked out a touchdown of my own. The free table at the library had tons of great magazines. Vegetarian, Organic, Real Simple...free, free, free.

Cooking With Gas

When I woke up this morning, I had so much energy and ambition that I....

Made a big breakfast
Made a double batch of Pheasant Italian Sausage Wedding Soup
Called and wished Auntie Jo a Happy 86th Birthday and made plans to bring her soup/cake/card to celebrate.
Called in-laws to remind them about birthday as last week, neither could remember their own or when they were married or their children's birthdays.... :(
Organized a route to drop off some soup and pieced/ground/Italian sausage pheasants to Clayton and Julie to thank them for letting Glenn hunt his property... then on to the library, store and Auntie Jo's.

All before noon. Gosh, I love sunny days, even in the winter. I am solar powered.

Retire

With this recent cold snap, we have again begun to discuss where we want to retire. The top city for 2009 was in Colorado but, Glenn would like to hunt pheasants & fish muskies. If unable to do both, he would schedule trips during the year. During the winter, it would be nice to be somewhere warmer although we would like four seasons. Maybe the answer is to travel in the winter and enjoy our nearly paid for home in the summer. Decisions, decisions....
