IRS

I skipped last night's radio club meeting in order to finish my taxes--thanks be to my daughter who did the work!  The good news is that it was done in time.  The bad news is that I owed over $700.  Time for a change!

In spite of frost the last two nights, the weather has turned off okay.  Looks like it will be decent for tomorrow's outside field trip to Conner Prairie.  I have to remember to make my lunch!!

Meg and I talked tonight about health concerns--hers and mine.  Talk is cheap.  We need to find ways to change things in order to survive.  Time is limited.  We need to stop procrastinating and DO something to change our reality.

God bless the grandchildren...  Because the day turned off nice, they were allowed to ride their bikes and play in the front of the house, with the admonition to follow "the rules".  All went well until just before Meg came home.  I went out to check on them after about 10 minutes....and they came running from at least two yards away, carrying flowers that they had picked from someone's yard.  Once again, Robin said, "I forgot."  I told her that worked the first time, but not now.  They were relegated to the house.  Ryan didn't want to help put his bike away, so he loses his for a couple of days.  Neither will be allowed to play in the front unless an adult can be there to watch them every second for a week.  We'll go from there.  Tell you what, though...the house is easily twice as large when the children can be outside!!

Every day, I ask for God's blessing and protection...for me, my daughter, my grandchildren, and a couple of my friends who have been in dangerous health.  One of my fellow hams has a wife on bedrest, ready to deliver twins.  If you are reading this and are a praying person, please add him to your list.  His name is Bill.  God knows the rest!
