Just stuff and one tale

Photo of the day: 

 One of our few promotions, this at a trade fair. My BIL Jim in a suit and a real salesman.

So for today

Cats are coming back. Two are Stormy Daniel’s grand kits.

Gave away an antique dining room suite that was taking up part of my play house.

Still no appointments for my pappygram.

Repaired our fire ring.  The cement top had cracked over the years, I added another ‘concrete’ top. I used mortar mix for the last top.  Mortar doesn’t handle heat as well as concrete. J

Reading this headline makes me shake my head:

Here's What Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Said to Each Other on the Field After the Chiefs Won

Why is that a headline???

 I Must be plain dumb here that I did not know even who was playing he Super Bowl nor who won until Sherry looked it up on Google this morning at breakfast. I had asked about the Super Bowl I knew it was about due.

My interest in sports ended when the boys and the grands were out of school.  Sherry is from a sports minded family, and normally knows what is happening in popular sports.

Hey something else. Funny how we are always learning this is a small world. Lisa over at https://www.lifeawayfromtheofficechair.com/

was born in the same town Sherry was. She now lives about 10-12 miles away. She just said the guy that does Mark’s taxes is her 2nd cousin and does their taxes too.

 I will never forget when I first met Dan Pace. At the death of my CPA, Dan took over his accounts. The first year I was ‘HOT’ as he had me paying three times more taxes than my Old tax man Marvin H--- did. After he asked me a few questions about my last tax submission, Like:  Mr. Darnell, Marvin reported that you spent $200,000 on land development last year, did you?......... Me, shaking my head, “No, it was more like $50,000…..”

I quietened down and he continued to do my stuff until I retired. Marvin had embellished (lied) about expenses on my return.  I never looked at my returns, just signed them. So Dan’s office continued to service Darnell’s Construction until I retired WHILE hoping I wouldn’t face an audit. LOL. I never did!!!

Since Mark doesn’t like paperwork he still uses Dan.

Well at least I had a tale to tell. ;-)
