These Are The Days T h o s e hW ere The Days ow one remem-
Back in 1968, Mary Hopkin Sang “Once upon a time there was a tavern, Where we used to raise a glass or two. The song went on to say Remember how we laughed away the hours And think of all the great things we would do.” A song about remembering the good old days. The good old days are relative and believe it or not for some of you will be calling these the good old days. Think about it t h i s w a y, d u r i n g world war two, some of the veterans who lived through that terrible time called that, the good old days. Then the Korean conflict came along and some survived that so-called, “police action” and what did they call it the good old days. We w e n t t o color the past through our emotions and if we think something is good or bad then that’s
bers that memory for the rest of their lives. I think the reason people think of it as the good old days is that - they survived some of the darkest days of their lives. For example in the picture of the U.S. Navy vet who was pictured kissing a nurse, he surv i v e d Wo r l d Wa r two after going through hell in the Pacific. Yo u c a n b e t that’s when his good old days started. There are numerous stories about veterans coming home to start families and build a life. For them, that start was the good old days. Now on to tod a y. I t m a y b e a stretch to eventually call 2021 the good old days, but Some kid who is just now graduating high school, or college, you can bet he or she will look back sometime in the future
and say something akin to, gee I sure miss how easy we had it in 2021-2022. Color me optimistic, or sill y, I d o n ’ t c a re because even after all I’ve been through just this year alone, I know GOD has a plan for me and my family and these are considered the good old days.

The Zero Based Budget
Dear Dave, I have a good job and make pretty good money, but I’m tired of always worrying about my finances and being strapped for cash at the end of the month. I’ve heard you talk about getting out of debt and living on a zero-based budget, but what exactly is a zero-based budget? Edward Dear Edward, The concept of a zero-based budget is simple: income minus outgo equals zero. If you bring home $4,000 a month,
you want everything you spend, save, give and invest to equal $4,000. That way, you know where every one of your dollars is going. Not knowing where the money’s going is what kills lots of people’s financial dreams. They think they know how much they’re spending and where it’s going, but they really don’t. Here’s how you do it. List all your income sources for the month. Your income should include paychecks, small-business income,
$

side jobs, residual income, child support and so on. If it’s money that comes into your household’s bank account, write it down and add it up. Next, list every single expense you have each month. Rent, food, cable, phones and everything in between. Your expenses vary from one month to the next, and this is why you make a new budget each month. Your giving budget might be high in December when Christmas rolls around. The car budget will spike during months when you pay insurance or renew

your tags. Focus on one month at a time. Now, subtract your expenses from your income. Ideally, this number will be zero. It might take a few months of practice, so don’t worry if it doesn’t balance out immediately. If it doesn’t, it just means you need to do something to bring one of the numbers up, the other one down— or both. If you’re spending more than you make, you need to make some cuts in your spending. If you need to generate more money, get a parttime job or sell a bunch of stuff. The deal with a zero-based budget is this: every dollar must have a name. That means every dollar has a designated job to do. If you fill out every item in your budget and come out $100 ahead—meaning you have nothing for that $100 to do—you haven’t finished your budget. You have to find a job for that $100. It’s your decision what it does, but if you don’t give it a name and purpose, you’ll end up blowing it and wondering where it went. Good luck, Edward! * Dave Ramsey is a seven-time #1 national best-selling author, personal finance expert, and host of The Ramsey Show, heard by more than 18 million listeners each week.

Apartment Living Fosters Much Needed Sense Of Community (NAPS)—Communities are more than groups of people who live together in the same geographical area. In their truest sense, communities transcend the physical spaces they occupy to become places that harbor a feeling of fellowship cultivated by shared common interests, values, attitudes and goals. Atlanta-based multifamily real estate investment, development and management company Cortland believes one of the biggest benefits of apartment living is the sense of community it creates, regardless of location. Cortland has long striven to foster meaningful and enduring relationships with its residents, from hosting events such as Food Truck Nights and outdoor happy hours to lending helping hands when neighbors need it the most. That community philosophy and mission were put on display in winter 2021, when Cortland’s Texas residents suffered from the effects of a once-in-lifetime weather event. On Feb. 13, 2021, Winter Storm Uri turned Texas into a tundra and left more than 5 million without power, more than 24 million with water loss or disruption and created estimated damages of between $195 billion and $295 billion. This included more than 41,000 Cortland residents and 615 Cortland employees at 77 Cortland apartment communities, who weathered the storm together and helped each other get through the frigid days and nights. “We had many Cortland team members who stayed on-site during the entirety of the storm to make sure all of our residents were taken care of,” said Trey Lopez, managing director for Cortland’s Dallas-Fort Worth, Colorado and Arizona properties. “It wasn’t a request we made. It was a sincere gesture of help and putting residents’ needs above their own.” Jerome Jacobs lives at Cortland on Coyote Ridge in Carrollton, Texas, but works at Cortland Canyon Creek in Richardson, Texas, as a service manager. He sprang into action during the storm, working virtually nonstop and taking fire watch in Canyon Creek. While his own apartment home was without power, he assisted Canyon Creek colleagues and residents, repairing leaks (often after hours). He also taught Waste Technician Ronald Norton how to fix leaks and handle other service issues around the Canyon Creek community to expedite repair work. “He was exhausted, but never complained once,” Lopez said.

The worst of times can bring out the best in people, as many Texans discovered during a terrible winter storm. At Cortland’s Attiva Denton active senior living community, Service Technician Carlos Pollard left his wife and children at their home without water or power so he could prioritize the community’s senior residents. In the single-digit temperatures, he carried five-gallon buckets of water to numerous residents’ apartments so they could flush their toilets. He helped shovel snow and ensured the residents were safe and had what they needed. Throughout the ice storm, he was also on fire watch. And he managed all of this while continuing his daily tasks. Some traveled from far away to lend a hand. For example, Regional Service Managers Jeremy Jackson came from Atlanta, Mike Hannigan came from Ohio and Lou Beauge came from North Carolina to assist Cortland’s Texas communities. Two members of Cortland’s interior design team call Cortland Waters Edge home and they immediately leapt into action to assist where needed at their community. “They absolutely went above and beyond,” Lopez said. “They covered fire watch for us throughout the storm, helped catch a leak flooding one of our homes, and knocked on doors to check on residents and keep them informed. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did to help our residents during this time.” These are just a few of the hundreds of Texas Cortlandians who worked around the clock, stayed on-site at communities, fixed leaks, stayed on fire watch, brought food and water, picked up and shuttled residents for supplies
and so much more. It would be tempting to brag of Cortland’s Texas associates for going beyond the call of duty. They are indeed heroes. But at Cortland, exemplary customer service and sense of community are simply the norm. “When things were at their worst in Texas, our team was at its best,” said Lopez. “I’m proud of our Cortland family. During extreme circumstances, they showed resilience, kindness and, most importantly, treated our residents like family.” Residents themselves huddled together to share food and water when roads remained too icy for trips to the grocery. They shared blankets and other cold weather supplies with neighbors who weren’t as prepared. And they checked in on each other throughout the ordeal, their communal bond strengthened by the shared challenges of surviving a bitterly cold, once-in-alifetime winter storm. “The recent storm was certainly an extreme event that required an exceptional response,” Lopez said. “But whether the experience is getting to know neighbors at the dog park or next resident event or seeing community team members step up in a big way during a crisis, the sense of community created in those moments is oftentimes what makes the difference in loving where you live.” After all, communities are more than their locations, updated architecture, newest décor and coolest amenities. They’re about people coming together to care for one another.

Power Through the Day
FAMILY FEATURES
fter a bumpy 2020-21 school year, many families are looking for a fresh start this school year. Whether students are remote, hybrid or fully back in classrooms, new laptop technologies can help them learn with greater flexibility and power. As you begin to shop for a computer, start with an always connected personal computer (ACPC) – a new generation of laptop that enables students to thrive well into the future. ACPC technology delivers cellular connectivity via 4G LTE or ultra-fast 5G networks from nearly anywhere, much like a cellphone, even when out of range of Wi-Fi. Students of all ages can take their learning on-the-go with built-in cellular connectivity. Enhanced cellular privacy and security helps reduce the risks associated with using unsecured public Wi-Fi networks at places like coffee shops and libraries. ACPCs are nearly synonymous with Snapdragon compute platforms, which offer superior graphics, performance, connectivity and battery life – up to multiple days of battery life on a single charge, which is twice as long as typical laptops. Cool to the touch, silent and lightweight, parents can rest assured these fanless laptops won’t overheat or add excessive heft to backpacks – or noise while your student is trying to concentrate. Built-in security features safeguard passwords, log-ons and sensitive personal information, giving students and their families peace of mind. The devices also support both Windows and Chrome operating systems, so you can choose the software that works best for you and your student. Learn more about technology to support your student’s learning this school year at qualcomm.com/education-laptops.
With a footprint only slightly larger than a sheet of paper, the Acer Chromebook Spin 513 uses the Snapdragon 7c compute platform to deliver more than enough processing power, battery life and connectivity to get through the school day – wherever that may be. Featuring a 13-inch screen inside a compact, low-weight frame, the 2-in-1 convertible design flips between laptop and tablet modes, ensuring students can stay connected to their data and apps for homework, notes and other school assignments. Two built-in microphones improve the quality of video calls for learners of all ages while its ultra-durable touchscreen and touchpad can withstand the rigors of everyday use of young learners.

he school year can be full of challenges, but fueling kids for a full day of learning tops the priority list. Affordable and easy to prepare, eggs are a key ingredient for successful days in the classroom. From a wide variety of breakfast options for even the pickiest of eaters to a nearly limitless menu of lunches, eggs keep kids full and energized to conquer each school day. As one of the only foods that naturally have vitamin D, eggs offer a nutrient critical for building strong bones. Eggs also help the body absorb nutrients like vitamin E and carotenoids that are found in plant foods, making them a perfect partner for veggies that might be a hard sell for some kids. Additionally, they’re one of the best sources of choline, which is critical for brain health and development at every age and stage. What’s more, between learning and down time, many kids spend a lot of hours in front of electronic screens. The lutein and zeaxanthin found in egg yolks can help protect their eyes from harmful blue light. Try these easy recipes that support eye health, brain health and nutrient absorption, and are easy to prepare ahead of time. To learn more about the nutritional benefits of eggs and find more family-friendly recipes featuring eggs, search #ProteinPrepSchool on social media or visit IncredibleEgg.org.

What’s your backyard personality? (NAPS)—Backyarding, the trend to move many indoor activities outdoors, is now a permanent way of life. During the pandemic, learning to work, entertain, vacation, work out and more right in one’s own backyard, became a necessity—and people are learning it’s often a better way to live. According to the TurfMutt Foundation, identifying your backyarding personality type is an important first step in creating a backyard that supports your family’s needs and desires. “Fall, in particular, is a critical season for your backyard,” says Kris Kiser, President of the TurfMutt Foundation. “The work you put into your yard now will reap benefits all year long. Remember: Work your landscape and your landscape will work for you.” Two backyarding personality types in particular—the Expert Landscaper and the Work from Home Pro—can really shine this fall. Here’s why: Expert Landscaper This personality type knows that yard work done in the fall provides a double benefit because what you do in autumn to maintain your yard sets the stage for its health and vibrancy come spring. Fall yard chores—removing leaves, pruning trees and cleaning out flower beds and garden plots—are a usual activity for you. Work From Home Pro As a work from home professional, you have been living for fall when the temperatures are perfect for taking your office outside. All you need is a strong Wi-Fi connection, your nicest leisure wear and a jacket for chilly morning meetings and you’re ready for work in your backyard. Nature is your video call backdrop and you have set up your outdoor office for success by using shrubs and patio planters to distinguish your outdoor office space from other backyard activity zones. What do these personality types
know to do this fall? No matter your backyarding personality type, you can have a fabulous family yard this fall and beyond with these simple steps: Remove leaves. Mulching leaves rather than raking and bagging them is good for your lawn and the environment. As shredded leaves decompose they feed your lawn, naturally. Mow at the right height. Cut grass until the first hard frost. Find the justright length for your lawn’s species (typically between 2-3 inches) to keep your grass healthy when it turns cold. Overseed grass and don’t forget to aerate the lawn in fall to prevent soil from becoming compacted and covered with thatch—a thick layer of roots, stems and debris that blocks water, oxygen and nutrients from reaching the soil. Water wisely. If you’re not getting at least an inch of water each week, keep watering throughout the fall. Install watering solutions, such as smart controllers on irrigation systems, to conserve water. Plant bulbs and flowering shrubs that will give blooms in spring and summer to feed pollinators, such as birds, bees and butterflies, as well as provide beauty for those natural, video conference backdrops. Plant a tree for shade or cover. It may take a few years to grow to shade-producing height, but it’s an investment in your outdoor space. Identify the ideal time to prune specific tree and shrub species and do so accordingly. Depending on what is in your yard, fall may be the perfect time. Consider putting in decking or a hardscape to create an area to set up a desk or table. Make sure adequate electricity is available to power those laptops and other devices.
