yesterday, I set up pumpkins with lights in them, and put a witch’s hat on the larger one…
I filled a bowl with chocolate bars and set it by the door…
we had twenty kids, about average for our neighbourhood… this was a good number considering how cold it was… I was surprised at how quiet they were – many of them just rang the doorbell, lol…
two of them were from Sturgeon Heights collecting non-perishable items for Christmas hampers… last week there was a flyer in the mailbox advising they would be coming so I had gathered a few items to donate… made sure they got candy too;-)…
the house looked good with the ghost on the steps and pumpkins in the window;-)…
a few weeks ago I gathered up and organized the tax information…
scanned it all and emailed it to my wonderful accountant;-)… she is quite amazing and uses all the newest technology…
a few days ago I received a link to a portal from Platinum Business Services which had my completed tax documents as well as a letter advising I have a refund this year…
I had to print, sign, scan (used the Notes app on my phone for that) and return one document, which they will now efile and eventually I will get a confirmation and see the money in my bank account…
an eTransfer through my credit union, and payment was complete…
it was all done electronically, from my scanning documents, to them doing the work, to the portal where I could see the results, to my downloading and returning signed paperwork, to paying them, to eventually getting money put into my account by the government…
amazing how technology has improved our lives over the years and what a perfect time we are living in… so much we can still do even as we are isolating…
always so happy when the process is done as for many years it took my beloved forever to get this piece of work done…
thanks to the refund, which was because I had extra tax taken off throughout the year I made a donation to Winnipeg Harvest (online) to support those struggling to put food on the table… every little helps…
