The Keeper of the Calm
In each family there seems to be that one person who holds the group together; the glue, the cornerstone, the core, the go-to person when life gets tough. They are the one that calms the storms of life, the ones that bring good common sense and humor when needed. They are the ones that you feel the "safest" with, somehow. The ones we look up to and trust.

Steed the Steer
Come, and go with me on a trip to Russia. Our first stop will be Moscow, next is St. Petersburg, and then we will visit a city, I’ve never heard of, called Yekaterinburg ( Ya ca teh rin burg). We will try some of the favorite Russian foods and we will attempt to speak their language. I have contacted a friend in Moscow, and her name is Egret the Eagle. She’ll be my host, as we fly around this beautiful vibrant country together.

Supporting Our Elders
How do the elders live in the U.S. with only social security? I have sat down with some elders to keep them company and let them talk. Elders have a myriad of interesting stories of when they were young, which I enjoy. But one conversation I do not enjoy is talking about their finances. I feel it is their way of just letting it out — a rant perhaps, and I am appalled at the amount of money they receive. Some of these people worked for over 40 or 50 years and had withholdings from every paycheck. I knew that social security is not something we can solely rely on, but it is just plain ridiculous.
