Taxes Done

Almost the entire day yesterday was spent completing our income taxes for 2009. That is always a relief when you can send off the final copy. We get a very small refund this year, even without the interest for the house. The tax software (Turbo Tax) makes it a breeze and the good thing is that I don't have to worry about mistakes in addition or percentages being applied to certain fields on the return. It is worth every penny of the $85 it costs, and that includes the software for the State return, which takes about 5 minutes to complete once the Federal return is done. In the days before this software it took me at least a week to complete.

It's back to work today and we both start at 9 AM. The rain appears to be over for now - at least the sun is out this morning. We finished yesterday with .35" inches of rain. The temperature this morning without the cloud cover is 33 degrees. Brrrr!

We expect to be busy beginning tomorrow with the big club that is scheduled to arrive. The staff stays very active with these groups to make sure they are happy and get all the facilities they need to have their parties and meetings. It is a different clientele from the parks we have been in so far. The others were almost entirely made up of single unit guests and had very little group activity. This park is very group friendly with all the extra facilities like the barn, gazebo, camp fire ring and gold panning area. Our next days off aren't until Monday, so we will hunker down and make the best of our work days...
