Anyone can make a snowman. But can you make one that you can eat?

The answer is “yes.” Debra Stockford of The Frosting Studio in Bluffton demonstrated how it is accomplished last week at the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center.

Her demonstration-talk was part of the Center’s Our Version of Adult Learning (OVAL) series. And, it was a tasty program.

After all, Stockford isn’t known as “the cake queen” for nothing.

You still have time to contribute to your traditional and Roth IRAs for 2018

Contributing to your IRA is a wonderful way to save for your future. You still have time to contribute to your traditional and Roth IRAs for the 2018 tax year; even though we have already begun 2019.

For many, the accumulation phase is from the time they start earning income from a job or career to the time they retire from the workforce.
