Haven't written on my blog in a while, so will atempt some words. Just finished dinner & know if I go read I will be asleep in a short time.
Got a lot of odd things done today. Went thru the filing cabinet and cleaned out some things there. Also went thru a box of old tax records & got rid of things in there. I only keep things as far as taxes for seven years, except for anything to do with sale of property. Was taught that when I took tax courses years ago & guess it still holds true.
Also cleaned out our Med records for the year, but can't put them away til after the end of the year. Ev especially has tons of papers in her record file and book. Then mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors, so am kinda wiped out.
Snow melting some today, but still kinda cold. Yesterday got my Christmas all done, which is so hard as you get older.
Was thinking of one Christmas years ago when I was 12. A small hotel & gas station in the village had burned & out in back was a small storage shed where they put things that were still okay. Several boxes were of Fire Works, which could be sold in stores back then. Down the street I had an older friend 15 & he talked me into using my sled to go get some of those fireworks, as lots of snow on the ground. He got them out the window of the shed & I dragged the sled down the back street to my Dad's old barn. Dumb him ( the 15 year old ) and poor little me we left the shed tracks all the way.
To make the story short the police found where they were & who took them. This fifteen year old kids father was a detective in Ithaca also. Anyway that was the end of my friendship with that guy.
Had to go before the town Judge & my sentence was to stay in after school for six months & to go to sunday school every sunday for one year. ( This was a good lesson learned & don't get led by your elders ) .
Okay enough for now-
