Holidays Approaching

Today I was out shopping and noticed there were a whole lot of people out there doing the same thing I was.  Standing in lines, looking at our watches, wondering where we are going next and reading our lists to make sure we got everything we were after.  I notice a lot of people buying their cold winter clothing and I got chills just thinking about it.  The ice scrapers for our cars, the rock salt for the sidewalks, the sand bags for the back of the pick ups.  Gosh, didn't I just do this not to long ago.  Oh yeah!! That is the fun of living in the beautiful Northwest....Chills are now going up and down my spine thinking about it.  Let's get prepared and make sure that if anything unfortunate happens we are completely ready for it.  Check your homeowners or renters policies and make sure they are covered for ice storms or fires that are caused by Christmas lights or fireplaces.  Make sure you have your fire place checked and cleaned so the smoke goes up and not down.  Make sure your sidewalks are always shoveled and protected with salt for anyone who may pay you a visit.  Make sure if you need snow tires for your car you get them before it is to late.  Drive slow and contact your friendly insurance agent to make sure you are covered completely for any mishaps.  It is our pleasure at Schrader & Murphy Insurance to make sure you are all happy and well insured so please call us and let us assist you.  If we are not your agent, stop by anyway and we will be glad to explain to you what you do have in coverages and if you are in need of anything further to protect you.  Until we meet again have a safe holiday season and get your check list out!
