One major issue is that the stock market continues to swing unpredictably , making it increasingly difficult to use stocks and bonds to adequately prepare for retirement. Plus, everyday expenses remain stubbornly high , and traditional retirement income sources, like pensions, are less common than they used to be. In turn, there is a pressing need for older adults to identify steady, reliable income that won't disappear with the next market downturn. For that reason, annuities are starting to look more attractive . These insurance-based products are intended to convert a chunk of your retirement savings into predictable monthly income for life. While they may not offer the same growth potential as ...

 We’ve leased at least 10 cars from Appletree over the years and always had great service but today I’d like to give special recognition to  Megan Hulse in sales who just did an outstanding job. First she is friendly, professional and personable. Then she is knowledgeable and helpful. Third she is enthusiastic but not at all pushy or sales pitchy. She represents a great company and a great product and people who buy Honda’s are not looking for a heavy hand or today’s once in a lifetime deal. We are looking for someone you can trust to guide and support you through the process.  Megan is just that kind of person.

  We have been banking with Wells Fargo for over 15 years. In the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Teresa Fritz. She has been completely professional while providing me with support and guidance in making changes to my account including making changes to the account name and the assignment of beneficiaries. Most transactions with a bank are pretty routine. Establishing and using savings and checking accounts, deposit him withdrawals, etc. But when you need somebody who actually understands what financial planning is and knows how to go about it to protect your assets for yourself and your heirs, it suddenly becomes exceedingly important that you have a personal banker in whom you can trust and that person in my case was Mrs. Teresa Fritz.

  I’ve continued to do these Wordle videos past my first goal of 100 And I’m still participating in the Death Cafe and in other activities happening with Hospice, including a Book Club and discussion groups and the course my volunteering With Zeke! I really enjoy doing the Wordle videos because it kind of challenges me every day with doing something new, trying to figure out how to illustrate the winning word. Today’s Wordle was the word polar And of course, polar bear came to mine well then after I published the first one where there was a blank space at the end, I was thinking about what could I have put into that blank space and I decided that I would put the words save our planet 🌍. I had just had a conversation with Diane who said she was going to go to a class about creating memes and asked me what a meme is well a meme is a statement or a slogan that becomes popular in the current culture… I just decided I would put the words save the planet at the end of my videos. It’s ju...

I am a hospice volunteer and I’ve been visiting over the past few months. This is a beautiful facility but more than the physical environment it’s the people, the staff I’ve encountered that really make the difference. Everyone from security at the front gate to reception to nursing and even maintenance take time to say hello… well actually it’s my little therapy dog Zeke who gets all the attention 🤣 but truly the village is Carolina Caring and Compassionate Village in my experience and I am privileged to be able to contribute.

  https://maps.app.goo.gl/hYawPrMJvFQjhJhW8?g_st=ic I am currently visiting as a pet therapy volunteer with Hospice. Each time I arrive my little dog Zeke is happy and excited to go inside. These are good instincts. We often visit with several residents who love to pet Zeke and talk about their own dogs. It’s a very pleasant visit and the staff at Carolina Reserve are lovingly supportive and dedicated to their residents and their guests.

  YOU’RE THE GHOST There’s a part of the grieving process, where your soul kind of leaves your body too. As though it’s off searching for the one you lost, somewhere in the ether. You walk around, doing all the right things, putting one foot in front of the other, living, but it’s really as though you’re the ghost. Perhaps you are. Perhaps your soul searches, until you find the one you miss, and they tell you to go back and live. So, when that numbness passes brave one, maybe it’s time to do what you are told, go back and live, twice as hard. You don’t belong there in the ether, nor do you need to search for the one you lost, they find you. And when they do, you’ll feel it.

Um, these are her clothes and you know, it's been now over a year and so, you know, I'm thinking I need to donate these clothes and essentially that's what I'm going to do.
