Good Friday
When Good Friday is stormy and overcast, I’ve always thought that that was very symbolic.
In today’s mail, we received our payable 2026 real estate taxes. We have three parcels, all classified as residential, though not all with under the homestead rate. Our total tax bill due will be $1,362.00. We look forward to taking care of it in total rather than dragging it out over two payments, the second one being on October 15th. Our home value for payable 2027 was reduced by $400.00. In recalling my times doing those tasks, I cannot for the life of me grasp which table of values that small dollar reduction amount plays out in the over-all picture. Oh well.
Yesterday and today was a bit of spring housecleaning. It all took place in a corner of the living room. Somehow, papers seem to collect when they no longer have purpose or use. An example: check registers from 1991. Of no use other than to add to a recycling bag. In this certain cabinetry were a few items that had emotional tugs. Those items were set aside in my studio. Perhaps the next time I re-visit them, they too will be pared down. It felt good to take ownership of space that can be made use of in a better fashion.
Dennis ran the errand of getting me 4 “C” sized batteries for my radio that is a constant companion in the studio. He actually bought eight of them. He knows what goes hand in hand in the studio. $25.00 and some odd cents. He had bought them at the parts store up the street. They were a brand I had never heard of. Duracell and Ever-Ready have competition.
Supper is the remains of the oven-meal of last night.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
