“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Benjamin Franklin’s proverb still holds true. In Western North Carolina, runoff from rain and snow puts an increasing strain on infrastructure and plagues some local properties.  Fortunately, there is a simple solution to the problem. 

How is your financial health looking these days? We are weeks away from the year 2023. Yes, we may be in the holiday spirit, busying ourselves with places to go, friends and family to see, gifts to buy, crafts to make, and dishes to bake. However, we must take care of ourselves.

Growing up, I was up with the sun, too curious to oversleep and miss out on something happening in the world. I remember vividly when Momma (my mom’s mom) would stay over. She was always up on the phone chatting with all of her friends by the time I wandered down the hall, bright and early before anyone else was up. When I stayed with my Grandma (my dad’s mom) and Pop, it was a running joke about how long I had been lying awake waiting to hear one of them in the kitchen, so I knew I could come out of the spare room without waking them up.
