2009 Stimulus Payment

Several weeks ago I received information that I would receive a $250.00 check from our Federal Government to help stimulate our economy. I was also informed that this was the sum that Citizens who draw Social Security would receive and that it would be direct deposit to my Checking Account.

In as much as I, the Flower Child always like to plan ahead I visited Jacks Saw Shop here in Macon to ascertain what I would be available once my Stimulus Payment was received. I needed to acquire a "Weedeater" to help control the abundance of weeds that thrive around my Home.

I found a Stihl HomeScaper Series Model 56 which fit within the financial limits of my Stimulus Payment. Yesterday I acquired information that my Payment had been received by my Bank. I was originally informed that these payments would be made on or about May 25th so the opportunity was available to purchase my new Stihl Trimmer. I visited Jack's Saw Shop today and obtained my Trimmer. As I discussed the purchase the Staff at the Saw Shop informed me that the Stihl Trimmer Products are made in America, Virginia Beach, Virginia to be specific. I was very happy to learn this information. The fuel container I purchased was also made in the United States of America.

So, today I can proudly say that I am proud to be an American who can expend the 2009 Stimulus Payment for products that were made in the United States of America. A refreshing experience to be sure.
