It is never TOO LATE or TOO EARLY to start. ROBINSON INVESTMENT GROUP, a registered investment advisor, was founded February 14, 1996 and has its offices in Brentwood, TN. We manage assets for retirement accounts, individuals and endowments. We also serve as the sub-advisor for the Monteagle Value Fund (MVRGX) since February 2000. The investment professionals include Russell L. Robinson, President, Senior Portfolio Managers Amy Wells Campbell and Trent Green representing over 80 years investment experience. The firm currently manages approximately $110,000,000 in assets. The firm investments include Equity and Fixed Income assets. The firmâ€™s value equity investment philosophy is to seek, in a quantitative manner, high quality companies which possess superior financial characteristics including lower relative price valuations, above average earnings per share growth, and dividend yield. RIG takes a longer term view of investing. With average business cycles lasting approximately three to five years, RIG believes in a buy and hold strategy versus momentum investing. As a result, portfolio turnover will average 40% annually. The average portfolio will usually consist of 40 to 50 names. The firmâ€™s fixed income strategy is simple during a rising interest rate environment. We are emphasizing shortterm bonds concentrating on U.S. Treasury Bills. We are avoiding investments beyond 2 years in maturity. We are grateful to serve our clients as investment advisor through the years. We are thankful for the freedoms that our great country stands for as we enter into the holiday season. We welcome new opportunities in serving new clients in the Brentwood area.

APPROACH OF THANKSGIVING, THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND TIME SPENT WITH OUR LOVED ONES. The winding down of the year always brings about a time of reflection for us— remembering everything we’ve done or accomplished in months past; looking back on turkey disaster stories, mornings watching the Thanksgiving Day parade or afternoons spent curled up on the couch after one too many pieces of pie; thinking of the people, experiences and things we’ve been blessed with in the last year. As we press pause on the hustle and bustle of life putting together a monthly magazine, we’re able to look back on the past year and, most meaningfully, the stories from all of you that have made what we do possible. We also take this chance to think of those less fortunate and encourage you to take the opportunity this giving season to donate to local organizations or charities giving back locally. We hope that as you read this issue, you—like us—find inspiration in the lives and experiences of your neighbors and the connections that have been made. Happy Thanksgiving, Brentwood!

SOLD We chose Damon Smith as our Realtor when we moved to Nashville from Colorado in 2014 for my husband’s new job. Damon showed us the city and knew all the right places to look. He turned us on to the Fountainbrooke Neighborhood and we bought our awesome home in a cul-de-sac. We made such great friends and memories in Brentwood and last month Damon helped us sell the home as we moved to Washington for my husband’s newest job. Damon sold our home for full price, negotiated an excellent contract and made it a very smooth transaction. His communication was OUTSTANDING! We highly recommend Damon and his team of professionals!!

A Mother's Love

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MY MOTHER When I moved to Nashville in 1997, I believed that someday SUSAN SMITH I would be able to recognize my parents for the love and support they showed me while I became the newest CMA Entertainer of the Year. Well, those dreams did not work out the way I planned, but I still get to show my gratitude everyday by having my mother join me on my Real Estate team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. For most of my life, my mother was the key support person I had, and she helped me in so many ways. Today, it is exciting to watch her display these qualities with our real estate clients. I hear from so many that Susan Smith was never a pushy salesperson, but rather a friend with a tremendous amount of knowledge when purchasing and selling a home in the Nashville area. So, it is my honor today to introduce my amazing mother, Realtor and business partner, Susan Smith, to the Brentwood community. Next time you think of needing a top notch Realtor… Please remember me, Damon Smith, and my outstanding mother, Susan Smith. Let us put our Knowledge, Experience and Connections to work for you!!

IT’S ALWAYS THRILLING TO CHEER FOR TITANS WHO ARE LEADERS ON THE FIELD, BUT IT’S EVEN MORE SPECIAL WHEN OUR CHEERS ARE DIRECTED TOWARD A PLAYER WHO LEADS OFF THE FIELD AS WELL. For Titans fans, we are blessed to have a man on the team worthy of cheering ourselves hoarse for: Wesley Woodyard. His on-field prowess speaks for itself. A captain in all 10 of his seasons, Wesley last year led the Titans in stops and is closing in on 900 career tackles. However, it is his leadership off the field that truly sets him apart. Wesley’s generosity and commitment to the well-being of others led him to help launch 16 Ways, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the success of our nation’s youth through programs in academics and athletics in places such as LaGrange, Georgia; Denver, Colorado; and Nashville, Tennessee. For his all-around leadership, Wesley was named as a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of Year, a prestigious NFL award that recognizes players who bring their A game not just to football but to their civic and professional responsibilities, too. Wesley is a true leader, and his nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award is an honor well-deserved. To join Wesley’s team, visit 16Ways.org.

Yes, there are several holidays throughout the year that I have been apart from my family. Last year, they went to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with extended family while I stayed here in Tennessee. Although working on a holiday is not always our first choice, I believe I can speak for the rest of the Brentwood Police Department and say that it is an honor and a privilege to give back to the citizens

A THANKSGIVING

(CON TI N U ED)

Previously with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s office for four years, Elizabeth Riggert has been with the Brentwood Police and Fire Department since April 2018. Outside of work, she enjoys interior design and traveling. HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO MISS A HOLIDAY DUE TO YOUR WORK? I haven’t had a holiday season with my family since beginning my career in emergency services. WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST GRATIFYING ABOUT YOUR WORK? The most gratifying part of my job is being in the position to help people on what is likely the worst day of their life. When others don’t know what to do or where to go for help, they call us, and being able to help when all else feels lost makes me feel as if I’m a part of something bigger than myself.

Jay Williams has been with the department since 2009. HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO MISS A HOLIDAY DUE TO YOUR WORK? Yes, I have spent many holidays away from my family due to our work schedule. One of the biggest fires I’ve experienced since joining this department was on Thanksgiving. WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST GRATIFYING ABOUT YOUR WORK? I love helping people and really appreciate that every single day of work is different. When you show up at shift change, you never quite know how your day is going to go.

In addition to working as a firefighter, I am heavily involved in raising, managing and protecting honeybees in Middle Tennessee.

I’ve even managed to convince a handful of fellow firefighters at the department to take up the hobby! I keep joking we should start our own firefighter beekeeping club.

GLUTE BRIDGE:

Thanksgiving meal, we also love the license of it all, the social permission—the encouragement, even—to not just feast, but to gorge. To sit down hungry—at least as hungry as one can be after two hours of snacking on guacamole, mixed nuts, and cheese and crackers—and to waddle away supersaturated. But when you see something comfortable, ask where the burden lies. In the case of a Thanksgiving feast—even one savored for all the right reasons—the burden lies on our bellies. So, in honor of this great American celebration of grace and abundance, here are some exercises to keep in mind to keep a good thing going: your body!

JUNIPER GREEN

SCORES TASTY TAILGATE TOUCHDOWNS

FRIED FOES NO MATCH FOR DREAM TEAM'S LINEUP OF HEALTHY STARTERS ARTICLE WILLIAM HARWOOD

Brentwood Lifestyle | November 2018

YES, IT IS FOOTBALL SEASON. And, yes, before a game, you will probably spend time in a parking lot playing corn hole and eating fried food-like items that, by the fourth quarter, you may very well come to regret. But such a fate need not come to pass—you can fare better. Much better. How? Draft Juniper Green to your team, and take your tailgating game to a whole new level. "Serving healthier options at your tailgate doesn't have to mean sacrificing fun or flavor," founders Molly Martin and Lyndi Stein say. "It can actually elevate the presentation with bright colors and interesting textures, and help your friends feel energized for the big game." Here are just a few of their suggestions for some pregame gourmet goodness. MEZZE BOARD MATCH-UP: Chips and dip are a crowd pleaser, but opting for a mezze snack board is just as satisfying. Molly and Lyndi suggest creating an upscale snack board that includes options such as a roasted red pepper dip called muhammara, butternut squash hummus and a labneh spread served with crisp seasonal veggies and pita flatbread. MINI SLIDER SHOWDOWN: Sink your teeth into mini turkey burger sliders instead of big, heavy burgers that put you to sleep before halftime. Elevate your sliders with toppings like caramelized onions, curry aioli and pickled onions. CRUSH SOME CROSTINI: It’s hard to say no to a pile of cheesy chips, but Juniper Green suggests subbing for a crunchy crostini option topped with ricotta, rosemary roasted grapes and pistachios. SCORE SWEET AND SMOKY MEATBALLS: Buffalo wings can be so messy that sauce is bound to end up on your remote control. Instead, try snacking on lamb meatballs cooked with smoky butternut puree and pomegranate molasses for a pop of flavor. CONTINUED

BUTTERNUT SQUASH HUMMUS

CULINARY CREATIONS

Brentwood Lifestyle | November 2018

INGREDIENTS ++ 1 pound butternut squash ++ 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed ++ 1/2 cup red onion, diced ++ 1 clove garlic ++ 1 tablespoon tahini ++ 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar ++ Juice of half a lemon ++ Juice of half a small orange ++ 1 teaspoon orange zest ++ 1 cup olive oil ++ 1/4 teaspoon pepper ++ 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin ++ Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

2. Cut butternut squash in half and scoop out seeds and strings. Rub cut surface with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until very soft and slightly charred on the edges, approximately 20 minutes.

3. In the last 10-12 minutes of cooking, toss onion in olive oil and add to the same sheet pan with squash. Roast until soft and dark on the edges.

4. After squash has cooled enough to handle, scoop out flesh with a large spoon. Add to food processor with all remaining ingredients except olive oil. While machine is running, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream until desired texture is reached. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve at room temperature with grilled flatbread or crostini.
