Dear Family, We were at the IRS Tax Forums last week. You can read all about our experiences in this week’s IRS News. There will be more information next week, as I have time to keep writing. It will just pour out as I sit at the keyboard. The fun part was meeting so many […]

Except for being in constant pain, she is remarkably spry and independent. All those admonitions to do all things in moderation seem to have […]
