Weekend Review

We were glad to have my Mother and Sister in for the weekend. Aden had fun playing with Aunt "San", and Grandma got first hand knowledge of the terrible twos!!

Mom and I had the chance to go to the Arkansas/Florida game. I was fortunate to get the seats behind the players bench, so being so close we got on the big screen. I always thought what I would do when that time came, and what did I do? I would not raise my finger in the air and say "we're #1", since we do not even have a winning record. So I went ahead and raised my hands in the air and called the hogs. Mom on the other hand was too shocked to do anything. Being so close to the players makes me realize how big those guys are. Wow, they make me look like a little squirt.

The big news that everyone is discussing is the economy. While I understand that the economy is in bad shape, I also understand that it will get better. Unfortunately our society expects a quick turnaround, and I really do not believe that will happen. Until the majority of the American people learn to live below their means, there will always be a crises in our economy. I hope the banking industry has learned their lesson and will be more cautious in loaning out money. Anyway.....My dad always said about the market "what goes down will always come up", and I will add "but you must give it time".

Until next time............
