Happy Easter!

     Emerson, Madison, & Blake               Zach and Eli                                Mimi

It's tough to tell who had more fun. The grownups hid eggs for the triplets and then the triplets then hid eggs for the grownups. The truth be known, they all had a wonderful time at Grandma's House. 

Happy Easter!

Taxation Represented!

Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.

James Madison
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents...

Will Rogers
Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing and that was the closest our country has ever been to being even.

Robert A. Heinlein
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.

Arthur Godfrey
I am proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is I could be just as proud for half of the money.

H. L. Mencken
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.

Albert Einstein
[on filing for tax returns] This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher.

John S. Coleman
The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away.

Herman Wouk
Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.

Dr. Laurence J. Peter
America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.

Okay!

                                              Sorry it's tax time. I am totally over taxed.

Happy Birthday Jennifer

          So today is my Sister Jennifer's 57th Birthday. At least that is how old she would have been had she not died at 42. When we were girls, Jen would drive us up to the Woodside store on Skyline, in her MG so we could get some Baklava. After years of rebuilding the dual carbs on that car, she rigged it up with fuel injection. The electronics for the injectors were wired to a battery located behind the drivers seat. The connection was an alligator clip (roach clip) that had to be wiggled from time to time, the fuel would cut out,  the sign that the wiggle was necessary. So through much wiggling and giggling we had a wonderful time racing up for that Delicious treat. Today, 40 years later we still race up to Woodside Store to obtain Baklava  to enjoy for you as you are still with me in those awesome memories.
