Post Pourri...Fran's Friday Forum...!!!

Summer's winding down, school here officially starts next week, and football practices are heating up...!!!  

SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN

          As the August evening shadows lengthen, and the twilight air adopts a cool edge, there are those who wait for this time of year to close on a home purchase...what with the beginning of a new school year, the end of summer vacations, and the attempt of many to 'conclude' the year on a positive note! Get out and enjoy this optimum weather period...fresh air is as important to our health as good nutrition...!  

SCHOOL IS OPEN

          I know school starts are a local phenomenon...just like real estate and title insurance!...

Traffic will pick up...school buses will return to the landscape...children may be apprehensive about starting a new grade or entering a new school...drive carefully, and affirm those kids in their endeavors as much as possible...they're our greatest assets, and getting them off to a good start can assure they have a great year!!!  

FOOTBALL IS KING

          Although I myself am a baseball nut, there is no doubt that football, in America, is king! And not only Pro Football, but College, semi-pro football, high school, junior high school, youth football, flag football, and even European Football (soccer)...!

Over the next few months, we will digest so much football, that by Super Bowl Sunday, we will have had our fill...most of us, that is!!! Personally, I will be enjoying watching my 10 year old and 13 year old play on their respective teams as much as I enjoy TV sports! Let's try to keep a balance...be a good fan, but don't be fanatical!!! It's only a sport! Balance, we have learned, is valuable in all our endeavors! Aim for it!  

FRAN'S WEEKEND

          Football practice, team pictures, watch some olympics, mow some lawn, finish up some outdoor painting, church, and...oh of course...blogging...!!!
