Taxes Filed and Knitting Resumes

Finally! I have finished my tax return for 2006 and gotten it off in the mail! Now, for fun and excitement, I can start on the two FASFA applications for the girls. It will be the last time I have to complete one for Megan and possibly for Stephanie too.

Best part, once the filing was complete, I was able to get back to my WIP's. I have 22 rows left on the baby blanket for KD and Matt, so I should have it finished, washed, and in their hands well before the estimated arrival in June. That also means that I can get back to work o the Sahara for myself.

Need to get some pictures of the WIP's posted so that everyone can see that I can actually knit, not just talk about knitting....

Stumped over this bit of news

Well, I'll be dipped. I saw on the internet yesterday where Van Chancellor has been selected to replace Pokey Chatman at LSU. I suppose the administration has their reasons, but I'm sure stummped. I guess we'll have to see how it all comes out in the wash.

Happy Easter!

What a whirlwind of a weekend! Both daughters came home for Easter. They wanted to do all the traditional things that we did when they were younger. What a hoot! We dyed eggs, made baskets, and had an Easter egg hunt.

All of that capped of a visit to the ER on Friday that lasted for nine (9), yes nine, hours. What a way to spend quality time with one of your kids.

Here's a picture of them after the hunt ended and they realized that they tied.

March Madness is Officially Over

Well, all good things must come to an end. The NCAA basketball season has concluded another March Madness Tournament and we have two newly crowned number ones.

Men's Winner - Florida Gators
Women's Winner - Tennessee Vols

I am sorry that the run for a win was not so favorable to Ohio State's men or to Rutger's women, but they are both young squads and have wonderful talent. No doubt that they will both be forces to recon with for a few years to come.

On to the Spring and Summer tasks now. The gardens need to be finished (weeding and refreshing) and the rest of the annual maintenance will follow. Soon thereafter, the pool will be ready for that first celebratory dip.

Blue Bonnets!

After a very soggy Saturday, we finally got enough sunshine to be able to take the girls to get their annual pictures in the blue bonnets.

It was a bit bittersweet, as Mitzi's last road-trip was for the exact same reason. We miss her dearly and will have a good old fashioned Irish wake on the 12th to celebrate her memory.
