It was great to get back to swimming. It feel good, and it's always good to see the friends again. Not necessarily so go to go to Aldi's and Wal-Mart to restock the larder. Even the car needed fueling.
It was good to get back to bridge, too. Except the cards were lousy - and the few we had, we played poorly. Oh well, we just have to get back in the swing of things.
When we got home, we finally started tackling the held mail. And, lo and behold, there was the feared letter from the IRS. As expected, it was a form letter saying that our check had been returned for "insufficient funds", and we should pay up the amount, plus a penalty. On the form, it said that you could write an explanation to ask for "relief" from the penalty. We've now written the letter, and are waiting for an OK from our CPA before sending it off to them. The penalty wasn't enormous, but we still thought we'd try to get it waived. Stay tuned!
We're still thinking about the good food at the beach. This is a typical supper plate-ful. From center right, going clockwise, there is corn (from Margaret), blue crabs ready for picking, red sauce, boiled shrimp, and Caesar salad. Yum!
