We have had a busy week. I started working for H&R Block again this year. I really do enjoy it. Except when people own money and get mad at me because they owe, Honestly people...its not my fault.

We had a great visit with my Mom last week, and a wonderful surprise...my oldest brother popped in to sat hello. Since we live on different sides of two different countries it was pretty exciting. We had a very great visit and he came to church with us. Everyone kept telling me "wow he's so tall" and I kept thinking...yeah, I guess, but I grew up with it, so no big deal. I was just afraid he was going to hit his head on the ceiling of my ity-bity house.
And for the record - he's not even as tall as most NBA Players - ok maybe he would be average in the NBA.
It was good to see you Ron. Now If I could convince the rest of my brothers to come up for a visit...that would be awsome - but the next visit should be in the summer when you don't freeze when you go outside. We've had about a foot of snow over the last week. I think I'm ready for spring now. And other good news - my other brother Jim has finished basic training. In five more weeks he should be able to go home to his family. I am so happy for him. Great job Big Brother!
Well, that's all from the Scott clan for now...
