"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."

Dear
Savvy Living,
I'm interested in helping my 85-year-old grandfather make an audio or
video recording of his memoirs, but could use some help. I recently
read about this in a magazine and thought, with the holidays
approaching, a CD or DVD of grandpa talking about his life's
meaningful moments would be a neat gift to my family. What can you
tell me?

How did November sneak up on us so fast?
I know my kids have already mapped out how
many school days until Thanksgiving and Winter Break!
Basically that means our already busy lives are
about to get even busier.
This makes the next two weeks perfect for
considering year-end giving (a) so you don't forget your favorite
charities in the midst of the holiday chaos and (b) so that you are
where you want to be with your charitable deductions for the 2009
year.
So, take advantage of our November 13th online
matching day or call me with other questions/ideas about your
charitable giving opportunities.
Building a Tradition of Giving...even after
Daylight Savings Time!
