When we were out on Monday, I realized that we were driving near Forest Lawn Cemetery where my Granny, Grandpa, and Aunt Libby are buried. I had not gone to see the foot-stone for Aunt Libby, so, even though it was raining, decided to go by to see it in place.
Dwayne took some pictures in the rain...

I was executrix for Aunt Libby's estate, and had thought that getting the foot-stone in place would be my last official duty... but... in April I got a letter from the IRS on her final tax return, indicating that there were two missing 1099 forms and that her estate owed more taxes. I contacted the CPA who prepared the final return to check - I figured it was not unlikely that I missed some 1099s -- when Aunt Libby died in February, 2013, I had her mail forwarded, but, by the time tax information was coming in early 2014, the forwarding order was expired, so the mail would have been sent back with a forwarding address indicated. Unfortunately, some of the companies did not ultimately forward the mail to the new address. I was able to find some of them, but I obviously missed two (they were from companies with whom I had communicated, but evidently a different "group" within the company). Anyway, the CPA said that they were indeed missed, but that there should not be any additional taxes due, so he wrote a letter for my signature to send to the IRS. I doubt that's the last I will hear of it, but I'm hoping!
