Taxes and Grands

I wrote this last night, but it didn't auto post, and I just now caught it!

This was somewhat of a slow day here in Kansas...  The sun never really came out but only for brief moments, and when I went for a ride on the scooter, I thought it might be warmer, but the fact that I took the liner out of my jacket was soon recognized as a mistake...

I was digging thru all the piles and piles of bills that seem to accumulate here at our house for most of the morning...  I'm not sure if we attract these things, but the many Doctor's office and hospital stays have us wondering what the insurance company has paid and what the insurance company has demanded as a discount and dread the thought, what we have to pay....

It is September 15th and that made the estimated tax payments due, so finding the tax file and preparing those was the first order of business...  Then out on the scooter to pay the bills that needed mailing, and to the bank for depositing those random refund checks from over payments to insurance companies and doctors....

We had the grand kids overnight last night and that always keeps us busy as making meals and telling the little ones to eat it about 10 thousand times is central to our day...

We had a laugh as the 7 year old was using grandma's fingernail polish to paint her nails...   And her fingers, and the table cloth, and the paper towels spread all over the table....  The three year old was watching intently taking notes as how she was going to proceed in just a couple of more years...

Loyce took them back home at about supper time, and we have been zombies ever since....  And how could I have forgotten the football game where the Hawkeyes actually won....?
