Now, @ninnymary, couldn't those nice people at the IRS also be avid gardeners? I never would have thought an agent with a government agency -- such as the IRS -- would need to disguise himself as a gardener in order to engage in friendly social interaction with such honest taxpayers as ourselves.
For shame, @bobm! I, for one, never gave it a thought that @Nyboy would 'forget' to include his barter deal as income. Gardeners are some of the best-est, most honest taxpayers I've met.
(tongue out of cheek):@Nyboy! Great deal! I am happy that you've gotten Grandmother's precious things out of the attic and into daily use. Grandmother would never have wanted her things untouched and unused, but used and loved as she did.
I really do envy those of you with connections to past family members through flowers, furniture, tools, etc. My father's sisters got everything from his parents and my mother's sisters (Mom was estranged) did the same. Besides, Mom didn't believe in keeping old things -- junk -- when new items were available to buy.
Perhaps I should go to auctions and make up family stories about the treasures I pick up there.
OT: They are working on the last of 5 bore holes and should be done with the drilling just after noon today. The contractor said it would take another 7 days or so to get everything hooked up for the system to be up and running. Subtracting the weekends and counting down another 7 days (plus a few "or so" days) to be warm and cozy thanks to Mother Earth.
