Walked with mom 55 min. Fixed the brats and rice I got from SHARE. Grilled the brats and then added them to the rice. Have to say I'm not fond of the brats, it's a kind of fatty meat and has a strong flavor. Oh well, I have two more meals of it to go since I have leftovers.

Periodically throughout the year I review my finances and investments. Today I updated my financial organizer book. I created this book that contains a snapshot of my finances, my bills, who to contact for utilities, credit cards etc. Anything financial that I want information about in one place. Also good if someone needs the information if I'm incapacitated or dead. I started this a couple of years ago after reading a great book called Organize Your Personal Finances Turn Chaos Into Cash by Jean Ross Peterson. This book is really easy to read and has a great system for tracking all the financial/household pieces of paper that come into your life. It's only a 118 pages but it has a lot of great ideas in it.

I also read The Twelfth Card by Jeffery Deaver. Great Book. A Mystery. Good Characters and good story line.
