Turtles

Posted on April 19, 2011 by jackie

I haven’t posted about our turtles in a LONG time. Big, Little and Baby are all doing well. They’re definitely getting bigger from all the pieces of shell I found while cleaning their tanks. They sunbathe all day and take a dip in the water when it gets too warm. They enjoy a wide variety of pellets, lettuce, grapes and strawberries. They have it good.

Big and Little are too difficult to take pictures of. When I get close to the tank, they constantly flap around begging for food or quickly move to another location. On the other hand, Baby sleeps peacefully and stays rather still. So, here are a couple pictures of Baby sleeping while sunbathing the other day.

Don’t cupcakes just make you want to smile?

In honor of our sixth dating anniversary, Hubby and I are enjoying some (well, six to be exact) cupcakes. I love cupcakes…and Hubby, too!

Taxes

Posted on April 14, 2011 by jackie

Property taxes are due April 10 and December 10 for each fiscal year. Income taxes are due April 15 for the prior year. Why the heck are there two tax due dates (4/10 and 4/15) so close together?? It seems like a double whammy for people who owe money on their income taxes. On the other hand, people who get a refund on their income taxes can use it towards their property tax payment. Either way, taxes are no fun!
