honor ....

   so yesterday, client comes into pick up his tax return.  his wife died in February and she was a quilter too. 

   he asked me if I'd finish her last quilt.  I smiled and said yes.  I was almost speechless.  he then went on to tell me how much B enjoyed visiting my office and seeing the projects hanging on my walls. 

   oh my -- more tears.  So my peeps, I've had more tears (sad and happy) in the last couple of months than normal.

yes, my peeps, me thinks there's a lesson to be learned with this one.
I'm tired and I'm going home.  work be damned.

ice free sidewalk

  I'm serious.  the ice finally melted from one of the office sidewalks.  the nasty walk from the parking lot along the north side of the building to the front door.  finally. melted.
 
  There is still a couple of ice bergs along the fence and in the yard.  mainly shaded by the building.  if it rains over the weekend they'll  be gone too.

   I did spy some tulip shoots peeking up on the south side -- the "micro" climate between us and the bar warms up a bit faster.


10 days peeps, 10 days to freedom.
10 days, 9 nights and 2 weekends.

We’re beyond our April 1st drop off deadline … so this means we cannot guarantee your return will be timely.

  Mrs. H and I are rolling the stuff out of here today!  (insert grin).

monday afternoon

  rule #1 .... never call your accountant on Monday morning.  especially a Monday after a holiday.  because:

a)  she's grumpy
b)  you should not have waited this long to do your return
c)  it's Monday
d)  she's really really grumpy

and I kid you not, at least 5 people have asked about the cat.  need to print up a big picture of him and drape in black ribbons.  ugh.

and it's fricking cold.  like 21' this morning.  what the hell.
