End of the Quarter

Today is March 31 so it is the end of the 1st quarter of 2011. I was reminded of that as my client was hurrying to get a loan closed and funded. We got it closed on 3/29 but I don't know about the funding. But a creative CPA can make the books look good anyway.

Thursday night we had a major storm come through McAllen, right over our house. Winds were howling, driving rain and penny-sized hail. I was glad that we were all home and not out somewhere. Conditions were ripe for a tornado but fortunately there was none.

In the morning it looked like winter: all the leaves on the ground, ice piled up, cool and overcast.

School was cancelled and work was shortened.

Today we worked hard to get everything cleaned up. We had to make an insurance claim for maybe a new roof and fence, and to repair damage on the car that was outside. With 2 cars, one is outside. Guess who usually parks outside? Damage not too bad, looks worse in the bright sun.

Tonight was getting a little back to normal. We went to the Vipers game but we lost big. Only 2 more home games for the season. We also participated this morning in the Hoops for a Cure fun run/walk and all 4 of us were there: Susan, me, Sarah and Jack.
