Last time filing taxes under 'arcane' federal system

Thankfully, as a result of the historic overhaul of the federal tax code, this is the last time that you will have to file under the outdated and expensive system that has held our country back for far too long.

Looking Back and Do You Remember?

The women found the tomb empty and an angel told them Jesus wasn’t there, that he had risen, just as he had said.

That part of the story I’ve never forgotten.

Certain Age

I belong to a generation that holds to the philosophy that “a lady never tells her age.” I adhere to that policy despite the obvious physical signs that I, indeed, belong to generation that keeps certain secrets. I completely realize if time is like a river mine has nearly reached the ocean is and somewhat worse for the wear.
