Good Morning. I’m getting a late start today. We went to the Casino last night for dinner to celebrate hubby’s birthday, which was last week.
Our customers have their crops in the ground, which means the two of us can leave the property together, again.
It is sprinkling here. Nothing serious, but not an ounce of the moisture will get away, as it is coming so slowly.
I’m off to sit by the window and watch it rain!
It just started raining here. I had been outside weeding, but came in when the rain got too heavy for me to continue.
How great that you and Mr. IG can leave together! I hope the unexpected road trip is a pleasant one.
Received this from a friend and since someone in Iowa is supposed to have sent this most charming letter to Sen. Harkin, I thought you might enjoy it:

Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of thisbill’s provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years,all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I’m excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figuresI could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as “in-state” tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver’s license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible)and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.
Thank you for your assistance.
Your Loyal Constituent,
