SUMMER SUMMARIZED...Fran's Friday Forum...!!!

By
Title Insurance with Patriot Land Transfer, Inc.

After a hot, muggy, laid back summer, this past week has reminded me why LABOR DAY is coming soon...!!!

 

This past week has been spent completing FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) forms, equipping a dorm room for a new freshman, finishing up student loans for my son who is a junior at PENN STATE UNIVERSITY, and ending with a FRIDAY FULL OF FAUX PAS...

 

I’m sure many of you have had those days where almost everything you attempt goes haywire...TODAY HAS BEEN ONE OF THEM...!!!

 

Summer started out great...I successfully completed my 40 treatments for curing prostate cancer, our family took a pleasant vacation which included NIAGARA FALLS, a visit to the  NOTRE DAME CAMPUS, and a brief stay for relaxation at GREAT WOLF LODGE in SANDUSKY, OHIO, and a bumper to bumper brush through CANTON, OHIO, the site of the Professional Football Hall Of Fame (this was a last minute decision that did not take into consideration that it was the day before BRETT FAVRE’s induction)...!!!

 

SO...SIMPLY PUT...WE HAD A GREAT SUMMER...!!!

 

Getting ready for return to school(s) and starting new school(s) is not for the faint of heart (and I’m talking as a parent here)...I’m sure it is at least equally traumatic for students and other family members...SO...

 

LET’S HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND KEEP ALL THESE IN OUR PRAYERS...AND THE VICTIMS OF THE ITALIAN EARTHQUAKES...!!!

Fran, I have to say that FAFSA form kicked my tail twice now. Not easy as all to fill out.

I too am ready for fall!

Mike, 

For my older son this is my third FAFSA, but for the younger one, this was the first time...It's harder at the beginning and seems to get easier each year...!!! Can be exasperating...!!!

Thanks,   Fran

Sounds like a great summer Fran, and I imagine you are ready for a restful labor day weekend.

We are working hard to get all of our student rentals filled by that day, if we accomplish the task in time I may let the crew have a day or two off.

Not to rain on any ones parade, but doesn't Trump want to get rid of the Department of Education? And if he's successful, what happens to all that federal aid to college students? Oh, and here's to your son's continued success at Penn State. :)

Karl,

As a parent with three in College, I'm thankful for the federal aid, but long haul, if my business was doing as good as it should I would have enough to payoff all my kids and grandkids student loans...How cool would that be...!!!

Money saved on taxes and big government would be in my pocket, enabling me to spend it as I see fit...!!!

Thanks,   Fran
