Last evening I went to the Dogwood Forest facility in Alpharetta, Georgia to attend a nice meeting for family members of former Dogwood Forest residents who have gone on ahead.
If there is anybody in the Alpharetta, Cumming, Roswell or Milton areas who might like to speak with somebody who has first hand experience with the facility feel free to call me at 877-772-1621.
My experience, and I will speak for my late Father, couldn't have been better. Yes, the walls are pretty, the lights are nice, the food is good. Dogwood is all about the people who so selfishly give their best to make the lives of the residents so comfortable with the quality care they so richly deserve. I am so glad I went.
There is alot of love there and it shows.

Monday in Atlanta...........
Had to run down to Georgia Tech today. Just a gorgeous fall day in the city. Great to see the fall colors and the sparkle in the city. Someday, and it's coming, far, far slower than I ever thought, Atlanta will have a vibrant down-town. I thought the 1996 Olympic Games might have brought some majic but that was only wishful thinking. Atlantic Station isn't happening, the surrounding neighborhoods won't allow for it. Eventually, they will get it figured out and the economics of real estate, interest rates, demand, schools, business, transportation and entertainment will trump the welfare state.

One of the most brilliant financial moves of my life. You should too.

Reservation life or life in white America?

#3 It isn't just the ranks of the "very poor" that are rising. The number of those just considered to be "poor" is rapidly increasing as well. Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty. Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

Lies and more lies......
Obama talking about saving the banks, with more money and saving Greece, with more money
All with tax money taken from taxpayers. The American Jobs Act will not put people back to work. It will only take care of the union bosses so popular in an election cycle.

Funny.............
Obama addressing the G-20 would be like me addressing the National Association of Quilters.
