My Trip Back Home To Colorful Colorado

After Spending time in Colorado where I was born and raised, admittely spending much of my time with my Mother(72) and my Grandmother(92) and of course how could I not make time to spend with the rest of my family that resides in Colorado my Son Michael and my Grandchildren, aunts and uncles, after visiting with family and friends I began to reflect on just how important it is to stay connected to family, you see when life shows up and it usually does who else do we really have that we can depend on to be there for us, but our family & friends.

I listened as my grandmother described how she literally had my uncle chase down one of the many chickens she was raising which was to be for dinner that evening, I began to wonder if as a society could we survive today the way my Grandmother had when the country was young and technology was practically non existent.

I also had an opportunity to go to Vail or should I say pass through Vail on my way to Grand Junction which I am not sure if many know this , but Utah is exactly 27 1/4 miles from Grand Junction, as I drove down the highway I noticed just how beautiful and breath taking the mountains were sitting there so majestic it made me wonder why I ever left Colorado to live in California if the first place.

Well enough about my vacation, in the coming months I will continue to inform you the taxpayer on new changes in the tax law which will effect each and everyone of us as taxpayers, in my usual no tax lingo, easy to understand and follow expet advice.
