We all love having clean vehicles to drive around town. What is your preference when it comes to getting your car sparkling clean?  Do you go to the car wash and have someone clean it for you or do you prefer getting out the ol’ bucket and sponge to do it yourself?  If you are wondering which one is a better choice, it really depends on your reasoning behind each choose either option.
Stepping out of the office the other day, it took a little longer than usual for my eyes to adjust to the sunlight.  After so many days of rain, the sun was a welcome shock to my retinas.  Flooding is not something that one usually worries about here in Henderson County but after a week of non-stop rain, some businesses and homes were affected.  Mother Nature has a way of reminding us just how helpless we are.  
We would like to introduce you to Dr. Robert and Susan Laborde of Laborde Eye Group located in their new office on Fifth Avenue in Hendersonville, NC. Dr. Laborde specializes in macula degeneration and diseases of the retina. The Labordes are one of our valued partners in our Penny Insurance family. We were thrilled when we they asked us to partner with them during the construction and revitalizing of their new location. Working together helps to strengthen our local community. 

Plant an Earth Day Garden

Posted: 4/25/2013 8:21:00 AM
When Earth Day rolls around every year do you get excited at the possibilities for the day?  Or do you worry that your less-than-green thumb will make all your efforts just a bit harder?  Don’t worry.  Even people with the brownest of thumbs can have fun on Earth Day.
There are so many different things people can be allergic to in the Carolinas.  Once spring starts getting into full swing the allergens start floating around like crazy.  If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you know that just having a stash of tissues may not be enough to get your through the allergy season.  But did you know that your health insurance carrier is a lesser known plethora of information on allergy prevention?
With temperatures rising and flowers blooming, a trip to the local garden center and some time spent in the yard seems like an enjoyable way to spend the weekend. There’s nothing like new flowers and landscaping to breathe life into your yard and put a smile on your face.  

It is Spring Sports Season. Are You Ready?

After a long winter, spring is finally here!  Spring sports seasons are upon us and it is time to get out the gear to start playing some games!  When you are taking inventory of all the sets of cleats and shin guards your family has, make sure to refresh your children about the rules and regulations of playing sports.  Every sport is different, but for the most part they all follow the same basic safety rules.  Give your kids the knowledge of good safety measures and they will go far out there on the field.

Business insurance, like all insurance, can seem overwhelming.  You don’t want to pay for too much coverage but you certainly don’t want to be underinsured either.  So whether you are starting a new business or just re-evaluating your current plan, you’ll need to understand your risk and the policies that are available to cover it. 

As much as we don’t like to recall it, we have all gone to a funeral or two in our lives.  While they are not something anyone looks forward to, they can really help give a sense of closure to the deceased’s family and friends.  However, after the funeral may be the hardest time for loved ones of the deceased.  That’s when all the paperwork starts piling up and all the questions about finances and estates start happening.

Getting Ready to Ride!

So now that Groundhog Day is over and you heard the news that Spring is coming early, have you gotten out your motorcycle yet?  Or have you been riding all along during the more brisk winter months?  Sure, it might seem warm to everyone in their cars and trucks, but to a motorcycle rider anything below 70 degrees feels like an arctic tundra.  The warmer weather feels like a little bit of Heaven on earth when it starts coming around.
