A VERY Busy Day!

I'm feeling like I got a lot accomplished today! Forry went over early to the mail box, then to the office with the pink slip to pick up our box of mail that Daughter MM had sent last Friday. While he was gone, I stuck the first load of clothes in the washing machine.

When Forry got back, I sorted the mail, then turned on both computers to pay bills. The stuff for our personal bills at the credit union are all on my computer, while the ones for the ranch are on Forry's. There are a couple of bills that Forry liked to pay by telephone, so we got those taken care of as well.

All the while we were doing the financial stuff, I was continuing to work on the laundry. It was a good day to be doing it as it was warm with a bit of a breeze. The clothes I hung dried very quickly.

This afternoon was the first of the season TV broadcast of a Mariner's Spring Training game. And what a game it was! The Mariners got quite bat-happy and ended up beating the Colorado Rockies 16-6. It was a fun game to watch. We have tickets for the Oakland Athletics game with the Mariners at the Peoria Sports Complex on Friday. I can hardly wait!

A Bit of This n That

This beautiful plant is growing up the side of the motor home across the road from us. I don't know what it is, but it sure is pretty.

I spent most of today installing stuff on the new computer and redoing all my contacts and such. It's a good thing I have all of my contacts and my calendar on my iPhone. I was able to sync them back onto the new computer. That would really have been a mess if I'd have lost them too! I've been working on getting our taxes ready. I downloaded and printed all of the 1099s from my retirement account as well as the stock account. Fortunately I had printed off the summary of 2008 on Quicken before the computer crashed.

Also did several loads of laundry. Poor Forry had to empty the gray water tank again tonight so that we can shower in the morning (he'd just done it yesterday). It had rained hard again during the night last night. You can see all of the puddles behind Auntie Violet.

Forry started putting away the barbecue and the outside tables and chairs so that we can get an early relatively early start tomorrow morning. I took this picture at the same time as I took the sunset one above -- you can see the sunset reflected in Auntie Violet's slideout.
