This Is My Father’s World

Is there a particular song that triggers a memory for you every time you hear it? I’m guessing the answer is yes. Music often evokes memories – an association with a particular person, place or life experience. I can’t hear a Johnny Cash song without thinking of my beloved older brother, Bill, strumming his guitar and singing his heart out.

Too Little or Too Much?

I believe in the importance of financial planning. I know from firsthand experience the stress that comes from a lack of financial resources. I know the peace of mind that comes with having some money stashed away in the event that the car breaks down or the furnace quits working. And I know the joy of being able to share what I have with those who don’t have enough.

Daily Bread

Those who know me well will attest to my love of delicious, freshly baked bread, especially when it has come out of the oven not long before going into my mouth. I have been known to eat my portion (and then some) of bread not with my meal but before I’ve even taken a bite of the salad or entree.
