N.J. no longer richest state

Second highest income.  Highest taxes – property taxes nearly double the national average.  Great quote in the story…”We have very high incomes.  And you can’t afford to live here”

Wednesday…half way there…

Busy this morning… Click here for Story

I picked Lily up from school this afternoon.  As we were getting loaded into the car, 30 kids dropped their lunches and ran to the fence…

Look at the little prisoners just begging me to come open that gate.  I wish I had a hose.  They gathered to see me and Lily leave I guess.  Looks like telling that one kid I was a superhero got around.

Anyways, Lily had a good day at school.  I’ve been printing a small picture of her with someone and putting it in her pocket when I drop her off.  She said she likes to look at it when she starts missing us.  This morning’s picture was one of her and her Grandma with the Pink Balloon. She looked a bit ratty today… (Lily looked ratty….not my grandmother!)

You can’t see it too well, but within twenty seconds of being in the car, she had pulled her clip out of her hair leaving a shaggy, tangled mess.  Her face was covered in dirt and she had paint on her hands, and in her hair.  Sure doesn’t seem to be bothering her.
