I am a retired 44-year veteran of the Real Estate Assessment field. As with real estate assessing and how it applies to real estate taxes, one can make many acquaintances, but not many real friends. It was a great career choice.
It has been nearly 10 years since I reclaimed my home and my real passions within my home. I enjoy it more each day and tip my hat to those who I left behind.
Each day I try to stretch myself with the use of my computer as it relates to this site and using it to print out labels for quilts for trying to incorporate photos into my sewing. Life is so full and I know that I have room for more.
Here it is and minus 9 and that is all that we will have until it begins falling towards evening.
I have spent quite a bit of time on the phone today with family in Decorah. My sister-in-law, Lois, has passed away this afternoon. My brother, Calvin, has one of their sons with him. All will be well with him.
In the meantime we are keeping warm and look forward to that spike in temps on Saturday.
I will catch you all tomorrow,
