APRIL 15 is NOW APRIL 18

Today we did what we do every tax day. We paid our taxes. Uncle Sam decided to extend the date from April 15th to the 18th. Because of this we had to change our schedule considerably. No more eating at our favorite restaurant, signing the forms, writing out the payment checks and then going to the main post office at 11:45 pm. Instead we needed to have our return at the post office by the 5:00 pm closing since no one was going to be open late this year. After stopping by our accountant's office and the post office we still made a trip over to Pueblo for dinner. The Enchiladas were wonderful. We enjoyed visiting and talking about future plans. We visited with the owner, drove the hour home, arriving by 7:00 pm. 

Of note: some things never change. Kent worried all weekend that we would have to pay our life savings for taxes this year and I planned how we would spend the money we saved by over paying our taxes. Our accountant, Kevin was wonderful at finding all the deductions he could. Watch for follow up blogs on my much needed new stove.
