When we moved from California to Washington state I decided to "retire" and it was the best thing I ever did - now I leave that sort of thing to the other professionals and am much happier. I made my living with numbers - and now I make my ease without them - I say - let us do celebrate!!!<br />JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-21512746225750876302013-07-10T18:52:16.345-07:002013-07-10T18:52:16.345-07:00You are ahead of me, our's is due and even mor...You are ahead of me, our's is due and even more complicated because we also have to do a quarterly GST statement, so now i have to do the quarterly and annual tax9separately0 for the farm and two personal tax assessments.

Nobody audits the council's books for 5 years and then the Mayoress resigns following defeat at the local elections following a financial scandal involving the proverbial missing millions. The police are called in or maybe they are not. It seems to be the latter case. <br /><br />Local farmers are honest salt of the earth folk. And I love them for it. And that's why I go out of my way to buy their stuff.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-28204294578459500632013-07-10T10:54:32.295-07:002013-07-10T10:54:32.295-07:00Well done you!!

Celebrate away!<br />I must confess, I like doing the farm books...all those little columns arranged so neatly (when they total correctly, that is) I gave up my ledger paper and pencil method a number of years ago. It's not quite so fun now that I do it on the computer. But, I do feel ever so successful when I can finally hit "print" and generate reports.
