Last week love, this week love again!

Last Saturday on A Firm Foundation for Life on Valentines weekend the program was about love at any age. This week it’s about loving our new windows, as in Andersen windows. The HBA House & Home show is at Seagate Center, one of the main products featured at the show will be Andersen windows, and of course that’s our brand of choice, and as many of you know we are in the process of a complete window replacement project in our own home, the previous, famous, national brand failed after only 17 years, so we are replacing this time with Andersen, and “we love our new windows”. Chris Pfleghaar, the local Andersen window consultant will join us for the program so tune in, to hear about the best!

The program starts at 9:00 am. . live and local on 1370 WSPD, streamed world-wide at: or remotely on I-Heart radio. Have you downloaded the I-Heart radio app to your smart phone yet?

We talk about it every year!

Hi Friends tragedy has struck twice last month in Toledo.  6 people have died in two separate apartment fires.   Every year with our friends from Wood County Insurance we discuss the risks of living in a multi-family apartment complex,  the need for renter’s insurance,  and the absolute need to make sure your own smoke detectors are in working order!   Heck,  you can get free smoke detectors from most fire departments.    Joining us live in studio will be Phil Simmons and Heather Gardner from Wood County Insurance.

The program begins at 9:00 am.  live on  1370 WSPD,  streamed live at:  wspd.com and remotely on I-Heart radio.    Also on this program we will talk about insurance for riots,  terrorism,  and even discuss volcano insurance,  which is a necessity if you live on Hawaii.

Pictured this week is the interior of the new house at 601 Jacqueline Place,  the outside is complete,  the inside will be done in a few weeks.
