Memorial Day Weekend … Debt Ceiling Fizzle (So Far, Fingers Crossed) … School’s Out … Extended Weekend Week …

With family, friends and a lot of contacts involved in the US Armed Services…. This time of the year have become more special as the year notches have occurred in the belt…

For all those in the Armed Services, fallen, retired from the forces, and any family of … or in any way near the US Armed Services…

Thank you for your service, we could not have what we do without you!

Debt Ceiling Fizzle

With worries front and center and lots of back in forth, for the most part the Debt Ceiling talks seem to have been handled orderly…. a lot going on behind the scenes (we listen every morning to contacts in Washington), but lots of contacts just wanting finality… without drama…

Hopefully that is what we will eventually get!

School is out – Well Almost!

The 15 year old is finishing two toughies (finals) as you receive this and hits the streets at the half way point today with the rest of the crew … the 18 year old DU headed Senior took several last night and only has two/three more for finality…so almost there…

Not sure about the rest of you….but time officially hits “Warp Speed Captain” (Star Trek) as soon as the gates of school close… Hang on!

Extending the Long Weekend

With a totally awkward summer schedule…. afore mentioned getting off to College … we are extending next week with the family…. Actually … two kids, two dogs and a cat for a bit...

Beverly Hillbillies anyone?

Oh…Watch out…with the time out of the office … the thinking cap usually gets going with the Newsletter in sight… Let’s go!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend and Schools Out Friday!

Debt Ceiling History/Thoughts … Pools Ready to Open in our Neighborhoods … Memorial Day on the Horizon …

Would you believe or be surprised to know the US had raised the debt ceiling aka Increased their Credit line some 90 times since the 20th Century? Probably not….

Most including ourselves believe this will get resolved… but there may be drama…. seems more the norm …

We know the history very well and will not bore you with the things that have happened in the last three or so decades…. just know headlines may be …. ahhhh… dramatic next week!

Speaking of dramatic …. but on a more fun note… Who let the pools out ? Next week!

Memorial Day Weekend Beckons

Next weekend marks the opening of pools, the very wonderful remembrance of those that allow us to safely ponder things like debt ceilings and a long weekend to boot…

Ahhh…that is all next week …. today is a Fun Friday, near the end of the school year for our clan… Enjoy and talk next week!

Memorial Day Holiday – An Honor to you – THANK YOU for what you have created for the rest of us!

As the years accumulate on the date of birth card, a greater appreciation for those that provide the wonderful world we live in now due to their services!

Several years ago at our annual holiday party, a relative happen to make it to the party from way out of town who was also in the Military. His acknowledgement was made of the Military Service presence and a large round of applause occurred for his service … much to his surprise and much to our collective surprise, compliment, and happiness…. unexpectedly nice and supportive …

What follows are a few pictures snapped over the last year that may serve as a small bit of the appreciation we all have for those in the service and especially the fallen… NOT NEAR ENOUGH of course …

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!

This pictures snapped last year this weekend from a local jogging trail — very cool!

This picture does not show it well, due to a bad photographer…. but there were literally hundreds of posters, the most revealing thing was the youth of those fallen!

School Is Out

Seems like only a few days ago we were saying school is out (and posting this same picture) …well here we are again. The schedules get out of whack… later to sleep, later to rise…but a much welcomed break from School ! Schools Out

Feels like it will last forever when the first few days go by, family travels….summer fun … but then in a flash…time for a new …harder grade, and we are back!

Not having a Pool, this weekend marks a special day too…. Unofficial start of summer and Pool openings!

Friday

Today is a Friday, heading into a start of summer, end of school (for many) Memorial day weekend…not sure it could get any better !!!!!

We hope you have time to spend special moments with those in your life!

Memorial Day …

By the time you read this I will have most likely have drunk 4 bottles of water and … well let’s say …. might not have the best odor. Today at 6 am I reported for duty for my children’s school Fair day, and as such will be in and out of the office …. in a little I think/hope. While not exactly sure what Fair Day is, they sure start early….

Speaking of reporting for duty!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

With family members and my closest friends in the armed forces I can say with the utmost respect we thank you for all you do and appreciate you more than we  communicate. You make the rest of our lives possible every day.Memorial Day

Markets will be closed on Monday and our office will be as well.

Be safe, remember those that make all this possible, and take time to spend with those special in your life!

Happy Friday and Memorial Day Weekend!

Memorial Day Weekend….Skeleton crew at office …. Server Service Reminder

Monday, May 27, 2013 marks the day for memory of the many who are serving and have served in the armed forces.  As such markets, governmental agencies, and our office will be closed.

Thanks to those of the armed forces

With family, clients and friends who are serving in the armed forces I feel Armed Forces(barely) worthy of the ability to wish them well, as they are the reason many civilians such as our selves are able to live the way we do. Thanks ladies and gentlemen we MUCH appreciate what you do and have done.

Skeleton crew in the afternoon today at J.K. Financial, Inc.

Cathy is off today enjoying a much-needed and deserved extended 4 day weekend.  Donald will be causing machines their usual fatigue via his work load requirements but taking in many holes of golf over the next few as a bachelor weekend is in his crosshairs.  I will be out of the office later in the evening, slightly before close, but of course happily tethered electronically.

Server Service Reminder

Thursday May 30th, 2013 at noon and continuing all day Friday we will be without our server, email, vaults, and electronic files. Our plans are to be powered up on Monday June 3, 2013 as including the weekend, we should be back up by Monday morning.

This blog is on a different system, if we have issues we will be able to notify you via a post…again, a nice feature of this technology.

Have a great Friday and a Super Memorial Day weekend.. See you on Tuesday!

Happy Memorial Day, Greece is the Word

This coming Monday, Memorial Day, is the national holiday honoring and in memory of those in the armed forces who work so hard to allow the rest of us to enjoy the safety and lifestyle we have today. With a nephew and MANY close friends and acquaintances currently serving, I feel the need to say an extra special thanks to all of you.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

Markets:

Greece is the new Word and certainly will make for headlines over the next coming weeks. We would not be surprised to see large market movement in both directions. As the old saying goes, “buy low and sell high” it’s really that simple.  So when things are on sale we will do so, and visa versa.

Lastly, as today marks the movement from one grade to another for my oldest, let’s not forget to spend time with the important ones in our lives. I really do agree that the days go slow but the years go fast!

Have a super long weekend.

I am out most of the morning today, returning briefly later in the afternoon and we will be out on Monday.

Best Wishes and Happy Memorial Day!
