Stimulus payment – still waiting

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

According to the IRS site our payment should come no later than tomorrow (I think by direct deposit).  Wouldn’t’ you know I married a man whose Soc# ends in 99.  Those are the last to be paid.  I don’t really mind as the money will stay in the bank for now.  I just want to be finished watching out for it.

Rt. 301 open and traffic flowing now.

I was able to drive to the grocery store tonight with no problem. Strangely there wasn’t even very much evidence on the highway that it was underwater the day before. Main Street into Upper Marlboro was still kept closed today.

Upper Marlboro made CNN for this flood…worst we have seen in the 30 years we have lived here.

This is Main Street going into Upper Marlboro:

My adventure today was to go catch this picture of the flood.  Got some much needed exercise too.

My first find

This was my Mother’s Day adventure… Dick and I went on our first Geocaching hunt. This one was supposed to be easy and we did find it with not too much trouble. It was a really nice cache too. We took a pack of Old Maid cards for Evelyn and put in a dollar bill. Here’s what the cache looked like:
