The Renewal of Life

Spring has arrived at Elmcroft and the goldfish have survived yet another winter. It must be so boring for them to live under the ice for four months without even a book to read. Pictures courtesy of Suzanne's children who had the pleasure of frolicking on the grounds during the warm spell during spring break.

Politics Goes on - Even in Death

As the executor of my mother's estate, the address of the estate is my home address. Somehow, these mailing lists seem to go on forever, even after death.

Unfortunately, the estate of Adelaide is not inclined to help because the executor has a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries. One of those duties is to be a part of preventing a tax increase for the beneficiaries.
