We’ve had several days of perfect fall weather. For whatever reasons, the fall colors are particularly vivid this year. A ride on the trails and in the woods is amazing. There are so many leaves down, it can take focus to figure out exactly where the paved trail is. But overall, the experience is breathtaking.

Sunday we attended a concert offered by the community college faculty. They did a very credible job.

Wednesday we went to a financial seminar. We attended because the presenter is the CEO of the financial services company. The flyer mentioned several subjects that have had recent changes. We expected to learn something interesting. Unfortunately, the presenter was not a very good speaker and did not seem to have particularly good knowledge of the subject matter. We were both surprised that well over half the attendees asked for the follow-on free financial check-up. At least we got a free dinner at Seasons 52.

We enjoyed a food truck dinner with our neighbors. My ophthalmologist gave me an “A-OK” rating on my eyes.

Danita reached a milestone this week. All of the executer paperwork for Bud has been submitted. It wasn’t trivial. The hardest part was getting OPM to send Bud’s 2021 1099 so we can do Bud’s last year’s taxes, a full six months after they were due. After working on that for over six months, she finally contacted Paul Sarbanes office (our federal Senator). Senator Sarbanes has a staff member that handles all the requests for OPM. We don’t know what this lady did, but we got an immediate copy of the 1099 by Email. We will be getting a few follow-up communications over the next week or so. After that, we have to wait six months before closing Bud’s probate account.
