Thanks for stopping by for our weekly Sunday after church meeting here in the park. It's so nice to see you.
I was just thinking about why Sunday trips to the park are
so important to me. They remind me of when I was a little boy during the War years.
After Sunday school, during the spring, my daddy would bring me here so I could swing, ride the merry-go-around, and go down the slide a zillion times.
And then we'd go to the ice cream factory just about three blocks away, and get a freshly made ice cream sandwich. We'd sit on the factory's front steps and eat that delight. It was called Purity Ice Cream and even Texas' famous Blue Bell Ice Cream doesn't match up.
My daddy, William Wallace Cherry's, birthday was last week, and if he were still alive, he would be 99-years old, but I still think of him as the young man in the park with his little boy on Sundays after church.
RIP OFFS. OK, here's the latest. A company called Reserve Solutions is pushing a debit card that lets you withdraw money from your 401 (k). Of course the withdrawals are treated as loans against your retirement account. Now let's see if the federal government is astute enough to put a stop to this, or will it be the next sub-prime mortgage.
PER STIRPES. These two Latin words frequently work their way into wills. It's a method for distributing an estate. Per stirpes (which is Latin for "per branch") specifies that each branch of the deceased person's family receives an equal share of the estate. Say a man dies and leaves three grown children. His estate would be equally divided among the three. If one of them had died, then his one-third would be equally divided among the deceased son's children.
PER CAPITA. Conversely, per capita is a method of distributing an estate where each child living at the time of the decedent's death gets an equal portion. No provision is made for branches being beneficiaries. Consequently if one of his three children has predeceased him, none of his father's estate would pass to his children.
SCHWAN. There is one food delivery service that is reminiscent of the past when the milkman brought milk to the door, as did the egg man. Schwan's Fine Foods wonderful products. They come to our door every two weeks. We are especially fond of their skinless chicken breast filets and their deserts. You can order by Internet, telephone or when the delivery man stops by.
RETIREMENT. The trick of retirement is figuring out how much net worth you must have to supplement your social security, pensions. Etc. Here's a retirement income calculator.
PET MOVING EXPENSES. Fido's moving expense is totally deductible just like any other member of the family, if the move is related to a new job. OK, maybe moving Fido isn't such a big deal, but what about your horse?
DR. KENNETH COOPER. Dr. Cooper is known world-wide as the father of aerobic exercise. He has an enormous facility here in Dallas and another one in nearby McKinney. He also oversees the manufacture of a number of
vitamins and diet supplements. The most amazing one is his fish oil capsule. He's figured out how to take out the after taste and the burp.

DIET. Oddly, a number of medical experts appear to be weighing in on the best diet for losing weight and remaining there. It's 1972 Edition of Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution.
Thanks for stopping by the park this Sunday. I hope you'll find the time to join me again next Sunday. In the meantime, remember....
GOD Blesses!

Good Morning!....It's funny, maybe one of the reasons I enjoy My NH Sunday Morning series with my "road trips" is because that is what we used to do as a family after church on Sundays...road trips-most of them into the White Mountains in NH(we lived in MA)
We have Schwans here too. I am always amazed that they are still in business cause I don't know anyone who admits to using them(maybe it's a secret addiction?)
That is atrocious about the IRA withdrawals. Consumerism is fine and dandy but the obsession with it has become obscene and is destroying our countrys fabric. It may be simplistic but it looks to me like instead of trying to improving our Economic numbers by improving trade,cutting the deficit or investing in R&D...the "powers that be"have come up with another spending scheme and are looking to futhur squeeze collectively, the we who are the giant golden egg goose...eventually they'll hit the wall on that one too! Now if I'm a "liberal", so to speak, and I can see it....where are the conservatives?
Sorry for the rant Bill...you hit a nerve!!
