Hemphill County Hospice: Living, Not Dying

Preplanning is something that is not done enough, especially considering the many benefits of it. Preplanning not only allows you to control how your assets are distributed but also allows you to make important decisions about your end-of-life plan and funeral. It gives you the ability to name an executor and to assign powers of attorney. If you do not plan ahead, the financial consequences of failing to put your affairs in order can be significant, as well as possibly causing family stress or fallout.

What's Cookin' in Canadian: Cilantro Lime Chicken
Body
My neighbor Peggy brought me two bags of freshly picked cilantro from her garden. I had chicken thighs already thawed for dinner, so this recipe I found on www.budgetbytess.com was perfect. My chicken was bone-in, so I adjusted the cooking time a bit. It was easy, quick, and shone with the bright tastes of summer. Enjoy!
