Fathers Day 2009

So I thought I would share some things I got for Fathers Day. Of course not the big chocolate candy bars that I got at church - I’m not sharing those! Well, actually come to think of it I did share them with Carolyn. But they’re gone now.

Anyways….

A few comments. The first one might be somewhat hard to read because it got ripped :). Also, we appear to be having a date problem. That is, unless they used last year’s card and trusted me not to notice!!! (If so, you got me!)

I liked Joel’s answers, especially about the popcorn. As I recall, I actually don’t really care for popcorn, but I guess if I did, it would definitely be the yummy yummy kind. He also drew a picture of the 2 of us on the back of that paper but it didn’t scan well.

Thanks kids!

Dear library

Dear Library,

I will not be voting for any tax levy. I suggest that you come up with a better way to balance your budget. Times are tight for me too but unfortunately, when I asked my employer for more money, they said “No” (though at least I didn’t get laid off!)

But taxes just don’t go away. Let’s say the economy has improved in 5 years when this levy runs out. Is it going to go away? Ooh suerie no. ANOTHER levy will come on and all the signs will say “Vote for the library - it won’t raise your taxes!!!” Once we start giving money, somehow it doesn’t seem to go away.

But having said all that, I do like the library, and as such, if a fundraiser is held, I pledge $50 from the Dan envelope towards the library. That is the approximate property tax value that the levy would generate. I know that may not seem like a lot to some people but it’s a lot for me.
