Taxes

Don't know why I proscrastinated on doing them. I always do. At least I don't owe as much as last year. Ironically, I got a letter from another oil & gas company today. Their offers aren't so attractive now that I know what the taxes on that are like.

Next year, I promise I'm going to do my taxes sooner rather than later.
 
Okay ... okay .... I'm sort of excited. I reworked my taxes last night and came out getting a little refund. The refund will come just in time for my long weekend the first of May. Sometimes, procrastination is actually good timing.
 
Okay, okay ... going to regurgitate some more of my entire life ...

When I was in highschool I worked at Wyatt's Cafeteria. Old people came in every evening to get pie, usually chess, and coffee. So, most of my life I've associated chess pie and coffee with getting old.

A few years back I was feeling old one night and tried a piece of chess pie. It was nasty, nasty gross. Made me feel better, though, in a way. I figured I wasn't old enough to appreciate chess pie.

However, when I went to Palestine with some friends this past March for the Dogwood Festival that didn't happen, we visited that little city's praise worthy bakery/pastry and sandwich shop. They always put a piece of dessert on the lunch plate and the day we were there, the dessert was lemon chess pie. It was free so I gave the pie another try. O-M-G - that pie was fabulous. It was so good, I don't even care that means I'm old enough to appreciate it.
 
Try some rhubarb too. I put off trying rhubarb until just a few months ago because of the name. But, it is really good too.

Down here, we often put a scoop or two of Mexican Vanilla ice cream on a piece of warm pie or cobbler. That is also very nice, especially in the cooler weather months.

I haven't been to Palestine in a dog's age. It changed any in the last 16 - 17 years?
 
I don't know. I've only been going down there a couple of years. The downtown area needs development. The housing market needs help too. When I was there last month I heard a developer has come in and bought 250 of the old Victorian homes and is fixing them up. I find that exciting. Maybe there will be one for me to retire into. I just don't want to have to do the remodel and upgrades myself. I'd like to have the decorator come out just for the window treatments and such.

The people are lovely. The location is lovely. It just needs some TLC.
