Family Ties and Money

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

So, how often do family members go to other family members for money ?
Is this healthy ?
Is it ever ok to borrow or lend money from or to family members ?
Should family members draw up promissory notes when lending to other family members ?
Is it ok for parents to lend or give money to one child but not the other child or children just because one of the children has less money than the other ?

I plan on discussing these and other subjects over the course of the next year.

Celebrating Easter with the family

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Easter Sunday is today and my family ALWAYS celebrates this holiday together usually around the dinner table with a huge Easter feast.

We all get together to remember why we are here on Earth and to celebrate our life.  Of course we all eat way too much of the awesome ham dinner, but we all take the time to thank our creator for our lives and to remember those of us who are not here on this Earth any longer.

Time to celebrate with the family.

Happy Easter everyone.

Easter Sunday Dinner / Lunch is in full effect…

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

As we ramp up towards Easter Sunday Dinner or Lunch… the grocery store chains are buzzing as families scramble to get ready and finish their shopping for their big Easter Sunday meals…

The checkout lines are jammed as people purchase hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs, green bean casserole, ham glaze, sweet potato casserole, bunny cake, scalloped potatoes, baked ham, pineapple stuffing, dying easter eggs, hash brown casserole, corn casserole, jello eggs, broccoli casserole, easter appetizers, au gratin potatoes, cooking ham, easter desserts, cheesy potatoes, hardboiled eggs, and tons of other things.

Ok, yeah, my mouth is totally watering now… I can’t wait for our family Easter Sunday Lunch tomorrow.
