Where Does The Time Go?

I would like to say that time flies when you're having fun, but it seems to fly no matter what the circumstances are. It moves faster with each passing year. There are times when I would like to slow it down but I can't do that. I don't have a magic wand or crystal ball that I can wave to stop time from passing.

We've now had a little over two inches of rain so far and we have a chance of more tomorrow and again on Sunday. The cold temps continue in the 20 at night except when we have cloud cover then we're in the high 30's. We're lucky (as I've said before) we're not seeing snow and temps that are way below freezing. I hope to get out and walk a little later and I'll be taking my walking companion Gracy with me. She has missed our walks and I can't blame her so have I.

Yesterday I had our taxes done along with my moms. I drove down to Yucaipa to get her signature so they can be electronically sent in. We are both happy with how it came out, and I'm hoping getting them in early we can beat the next shut down (fi it happens).

The new rain gutters have been working wonderfully and we have extended the down spouts out so they won't flood the flower beds.

We had our 31st Anniversary a couple of days ago, we went to AppleBees to celebrate, and then we went to Sizzler yesterday to celebrate our tax return windfall. We can use any excuse to go out and have a good meal. We do the salad bar at Sizzler and that works well for us. I love their clam chowder, and I haven't had a bad cup so far!
