Hooray for me!

Not to brag or anything, but I have taken a lot of classes and learned a lot since last tax season ended and as of today I am officially three certification levels higher than last year. My final test (for Tax Advisor 3) was today. Whoohoo! Bring on tax season.. I am ready!!

December in photos

I didn't do a very good job of keeping up with all our December adventures, photographically speaking, as we went along, but now all are posted. From the Florida vacation(s) through Jill's Chanukah brunch, Mark and Char's Christmas open house, Prospectors reunion with Janine and Jim, and breakfast with my former fifth grade colleagues. All that and more at TomRo

Now it's the always inspiring week between Christmas and New Year's Eve and Day. Another year draws to a close...What will 2012 bring?

Jersey Boys....yes!

I finally got to see Jersey Boys (yesterday at the Forrest Theater in Philadelphia) and it was every bit as wonderful as I expected. Tom enjoyed it, too!

You're never far from HR Block

So you're vacationing in Florida. What's on the itinerary? Sun, water, dancing, golf, tennis, HR Block's 2011 Tax Update class.......... :-)
Many thanks to all my new Tampa, Florida friends...especially Rita Fowler and Tom Osborn.

Seeing Linda

One of our favorite things to do when we come to Florida is to visit with friends. Linda is coming over at 11 and we can't wait to see her. I think it was March last year and December the year before.........? Anyway, we are so looking forward. Too bad it's not sunny. :-(

Florida!

Tom and I are en route to The Roundup in Tampa. Looks like we're going to miss the lessons, but at least we'll be dancing. :-)
We had fun with John, Helen, and Bill at the Villages. Tom golfed every day...I joined them for two of the days (oh, I am such a good golfer....not!). Helen gave me some pickleball tips and we line danced with at least fifty people in one of the community centers.
Now we are in Ruskin at Little Harbor which seems very nice and we are looking forward to seeing Linda on Monday.
I wasn't expecting it to be really hot...just a lot warmer than NJ...but it was surprisingly uncomfortably hot while we were golfing on Thursday. There are heated pools here, so I am thinking swimming is not out of the question.
