Sally's Spotlight

  • The Relationship Between Humans And Loud Music
    While out walking our dogs with a neighbor on a warm, autumn Sunday morning, we discussed plans for the day. She mentioned she and her husband were going to the theater that evening to hear a New Orleans jazz trombone player and his ensemble. My husband’s ears perked up, as…

  • What is a probate and why do I want to avoid it?

These clients are usually very adamant that they do not want the government to get their assets, they do not want their families…

Home Management

  • Managing Medications
    Managing Medications It is becoming more frequent to see medications distributed in blister packs, rather than in pill bottles. Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors.

Medical Conditions

  • Do You Have Breathing Problems?
    Do You Have Breathing Problems? I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living.  When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens?
