Filed Taxes Online

Today I filed my federal taxes online for the first time. I had done them on paper and filed my state by mail in February because I was getting money  back from them. I had to pay the federal and I wanted to check my figuring with the software and they came out the same, so I'll probably E-File again next year. The snow finally went away in early April setting a record of over 106 days with snow covering the ground and being the coldest winter since 1950. Phillip bought a 2013 Cruze from Bud Kouts and is practising for his drivers test for his license. There was another snow day March 12 but I've been working everyday until last week's spring break. The Ybarra's got back from Florida March 27 and sold their house and moved out the 30th into Mark's. Jon and Sharon were here that weekend for our birthdays and I had told Gramma they needed 2 Men and a Truck to move them but they managed somehow without our help. MSU and Michigan both reached the elite 8 but both lost to the teams that went to the final with Connecticut, a #7 seed winning it. We went to the Caesar Chavez movie with Luke this week and the MSU Science Fair last Sunday. We had the temperature reach 70 for the first time since last October this weekend and spring is finally showing it's signs of life. I finished cleaning up all the branches and cutting them this week with some piles of brush still out back.  Green is slowly appearing and buds are opening up to bring renewal to the earth and souls seeking new life.
