JJan Merrifield was telling me about this really tasty soup she made recently. Jan said "the recipe came from my friend Donna Harrison. It's one of those recipes you can add to or take away from depending on your taste preference - I added carrots for color as much as for flavor."

Social Security Matters

Dear Rusty: I’m 63 and still working, and I receive Social Security benefits. Because of COVID-19 my employer has been giving us a $300 bonus, every 3 months. This will be $1,200 for the year and it will put me over the $18,240 earnings limit for this year. My question is, since these bonuses are COVID-19 related are they still considered earned income? My second question is, if I go over the limit does Social Security stop my check, even if it might be a portion of the check? Signed: Working During COVID-19

With the bone piercing cold we’ve been encountering this winter, what better way to warm up the bones with a little comfort food and a great way to use up some of the leftovers.

Slow Down….

2021 Just hit. If you’re like me, I wonder if that’s a good sign. I am not a true pessimist….. but it just seems too many things have just “popped up” too difficult lately. When things hit me like that I seem to speed up and get frustrated, and of course get upset. I need to make things slow down. You know what? The Bible talks about slowing down a lot. One of my favorite scriptures is in Ecclesiastes, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” I was reading and found something that goes well with this scripture.

2020: A Year of Years

2020 has certainty been a year of years. I do not need to recount the events of this year; we all know them too well. It is just strange to think that it was less than a year ago since we impeached the president, yet it seems more like a decade. As we think back over the events of the past 12 months, it may be helpful to know that 2020 is not unique. We have had other years in which we did not know if we would survive, especially years in the middle of wars. Yet we always did. One year in particular has come to my mind. As crazy as 2020 was, 1919 gave it a run for its money, and, like always , we endured and overcame.
