Tax Time

I finally finished the taxes. Whew!  I'm not going to be rich, but I don't have to pay either. 

One year I did my own taxes and I accidentally put the SSI number in the wrong box and it showed that we owed $3000.00+ in taxes.  I was so sick over it.  It was 1986 and we didn't have even  a prayer of coming up with that kind of money.  I did go to work, but they sent me home.  I wasn't getting anything done.  I took my taxes to H&R Block where they showed me the error of my ways and I stopped crying (we got money back) and used H&R Block for years.  One year I took our taxes to a friend and he did a great job. Then Uncle Henry got Turbo Tax and he did my taxes.  The next year I did them with Aunt Jane (Henry's wife of course) and then on my own when the in-laws got their own turbo tax.  I have become adept at doing my own taxes.  I wish it was easier and not so upsetting to me.  If things go wrong I just cry. 

Speaking of crying, I have lost my embroidery.  I keep it in a little black suitcase and it is gone.  Where could it go off to??????  I am looking all over.  Tonight I must clean my bedroom to see if it is underneath the pile of sweaters.  I am to interested in family things to care about the laundry.......So tonight I do the big search.  I finished binding two quilts and I have made a bunch of community service quilt tops.  I am going to try quilting them on my own next week.
