Did Hit it Hard
After the morning walk, I did hit the sewing studio hard. I have watched enough YouTube videos to last a lifetime on making Santa beards. In the end . . . I winged it. Dennis checked on me several times during the afternoon as he knew I was focused. Tomorrow may be the culmination of the Santa Project, but I am not prejudging the day until I find out what Dennis has on his agenda.
Coffee at McDonald’s this morning for Dennis and his buds seems to have been centered around income tax talk. The hope is that the income tax on Social Security will go by the way-side. We already paid on it once when it was earned. There is a very vivid memory of Orlin and I doing income tax, but I have no idea what year it was. I know I was not working at that time. I do remember that we had both Carrie and Kevin on board. The W-2 form that Orlin had was a gross earnings of $14,000. It must have been from 3M as we were living in a mobile home at that time. Amazing what the mind can bring forward. Amazing memory from perhaps 45 years ago.
Each day Dennis is tickled pink that the cold nights are taking away snow via freeze drying. I agree. We had one bad episode of the patio porch floor being under water. We now need drying time before we move back into it. Yup . . . it’s been a good day on Stauffer Avenue.
