April 15th day


Well its April 15th and yes my taxes are done and I paid taxes this year PFFFFFFFt.

I know that the Nightly Business Review, and the talking heads say that we are in a recession and that it could be a deep one. But, here are the recent observations I have made:
1. There are several new homes being build again. There is a large home being build in the middle of nowhere. New home starts in Kingman are rising.
2. No beggars on the street corners
3. Starbucks opened their own store not one inside a Safeway (we have both here)
4. Although peoples manners are not good there are a few more smiles than frowns.

I know this isnt very scientific way of measuring the "recession" but, it works for me. Like everyone else I am being careful with our funds, not expanding any of our ideas right now, and watching the talking heads.

We went north to Sebastopol a couple of weeks ago, visited friends and family. Had a nice time. The weather was nice a bit of fog in the morning but otherwise not bad.
Went shopping with my daughter and as always had a good time. Brought some nice summer clothes for me but no purse as I couldnt bring myself to pay 189.00 for apurse I didnt even like.

As for Moon Guard and TWOTW lets have a wonderful week.
Hope all of you are well.

Home again finally!

We just returned from Northern California (Sebastopol) where we went to

a) Visit Tax Woman for 2007
b) Visit Broker Man for 2007
c) Visit Daughter for birthday 2007
d) Visit Step Granddaughter for birthday 2007
e) WORK for client (bookkeeping)
f) Pick up new "old" car for husbands shop project
g) Visit Step Son and Family
h) Buy Coins.

Got everything but the last item done. The coin shop I like to visit was closed for the day. So, I didn't buy the 1885 Liberty Nickel I wanted to get for my collection of nickels. It is the only one of the Liberty Nickels I am missing. Still working on the Buffalo Nickel collection as I want full dates, and I am only missing 2 of the shield nickels.

Daughter loved her custom designed tank top that I made for MCY. Pattern will be available thru MCY later this week. Did the old clients books, and visited with Eddie who also collects coins.

Everyone is doing well in the family and we had a good time. Really glad to be home where the temps are 88 degrees this week. We will be cooling off next week.

Hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patty's day
