Testimonial:
"A Unique
Perspective"
"When we met you, you offered a unique perspective
to buying health insurance...genuine interest, patience and service.
You 'listened' to our concerns and needs. You then presented us with
several alternatives from various providers that were within our
budget....and then you followed through to assure the new coverage
was what was expected.
Thank you for
offering honest service with integrity."
Best regards,

Dear
David,
With
Mother's Day behind us, I can't help but think that we probably don't do enough to honor the women in
our lives. Our mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and others are responsible, not only for our being alive
on this earth, but for much of what makes us WANT to be alive on
this earth.
This
week is National
Women's Health Week. Let's look after the health and
well-being of these precious souls.
If
you haven't done it yet, look us up on Facebook and click the
"like" button. It's easy, just click on this

Sincerely,
Ron
Dutton

Skip Work?
 What if you could skip the work in your life and just
show up for the paycheck?
There is a saying that goes, "The one thing that
matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be
attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on
from crest to crest; and once the goal is reached it has no
meaning." - (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Wisdom of the
Sands, translated from French by Stuart Gilbert)
Work is an important part of life. As much as we
want more leisure in our lives, without work we would be miserable
creatures, unable to appreciate the simplest joys.
I know of a young woman who was very intelligent,
hard-working and capable. She met a young man, fell in love
and started a family. The couple could hardly believe their
good fortune when they were able to participate in a
recession-proof investment that seemed promising. And in
fact, the investment paid off so well, the couple soon found they
had no need to continue employment. They quit working,
choosing to rely solely on the returns from their investment.
The young woman hired helpers to take care of her children and her
husband spent his time in idle pursuits.
To this day, the investment continues to pay out huge
sums of money. However, the couple is unable to do some of
the simple tasks they had so easily done before. The young
woman has lost many of the skills for which she had worked so hard
in life. She is now unable to care for her own children, even
if she wanted to. Life for this couple has become difficult
in surprising ways.
As a cautionary tale, the story of this couple is
intriguing. But very few people are "blessed" with
the challenge this couple faces. More typically, we go to our
mundane jobs every day and wonder if our efforts are really getting
us anywhere in life. This couples' story is a reminder that
there is always value in hard work. If we could skip the work
and simply show up for the paycheck, we would certainly miss out on
the many benefits of hard work and we would be avoiding a proven source
of happiness and fulfillment.

Mac and Cheese Dog Casserole
 Ingredients:
1
pound elbow macaroni
Salt
2
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1
package beef or pork hot dogs (or kielbasa) chopped into 1-inch
pieces
1
tablespoon butter
1
medium onion, finely chopped
2
tablespoons all-purpose flour
½
cup beer, 1/3 of a bottle-whatever you have on hand (chicken broth

2
cups milk
Pepper
1
rounded tablespoon spicy mustard
2
rounded tablespoons ketchup
3
cups yellow sharp cheese, shredded, divided
Directions:
Boil
a large pot of water for macaroni. Salt water and under cook
macaroni,
Cook
about 7 minutes until just under al dente in doneness.
Preheat
broiler and set rack 12 inches from heat.
While
pasta works, heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the
pan, then add hot dogs and brown on both sides, 4 minutes
total. Remove the dogs with a slotted spoon to a paper towel
lined plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1
turn of the pan, add the butter. When the butter melts, cook
onions 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook another
minute. Add beer and cook off completely, 1 minute.
Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble, then season the sauce with
salt and pepper and stir in the mustard and ketchup. Lower
heat and add 2 cups of the cheese. Stir to melt, 1
minute. Adjust mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper, to your
taste.
Drain
pasta well. Combine pasta and hot dogs with sauce and coat
evenly, then pour into large casserole and top with remaining
cheese. Melt and brown cheese under broiler, 2 minutes.
Enjoy!

What is YOUR Legacy?
What if you could get a
preview of your own obituary? One man did. In 1888, a man awoke to discover an
obviously false report of his own death in the newspaper. The
man was shocked to see the headline, "Merchant of Death is
Dead." The article went on to say that he had become
rich by "finding ways to kill more people faster than ever
before."
The man was Alfred Nobel,
inventor of dynamite. The obituary shook Alfred to the point
that he determined to leave a better legacy. In his last will
and testament, he set aside a bulk of his estate (the equivalent of
approximately $250 million) to establish "Nobel Prizes,"
to be awarded annually for outstanding scientific and literary
achievement.
What
will people say about YOU when you are gone?
