Summer Fun Begins with Being Prepared

Michael Jacobs - Ready or not - this is Life! Embrace it! Live it! Love it!

I hope you have many reasons to smile today.

Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 - Thank you for the smile you put on my face after reading your comment! Let's make a pact to choose young regardless of the chronological number. 

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - I have always been opposed to plastic. I guess it started in High School when I was assigned my first job through a school program. Like other students, I got out before the school bell to work at a job that was on the business school's approval list. It was a Plastic Products Company in Downtown Chicago. The more training they gave me and the more I learned about how Plastics was going to change my future, I must have felt very sad, and it must have shown. Before my probationary period was up, I got called into "Personnel." They fired me because they said my heart wasn't in it and I should think about finding another company.

When it comes to plastics, my daughter and son are just like me! 

Sham Reddy CRS - thanks! I'm glad you liked it. 

Have a nice day. 

Steffy Hristova - It was so much fun to watch the little ones on ice. They weren't just skating, they were creating magic right before my eyes! 

Ice Skating in July is truly magical!!!

Barbara Todaro - I didn't get to learn how to ice-skate as a young child in Chicago. But I did become a mother and after my kids were born, we moved to Northern, IL where I learned to Ice Skate at the pond across the fields from where we lived. We hiked through the woods, across the stream, into the thick brush to get to the secluded pond by the old red barn. By the time my kids were very proficient at ice skating, I had the courage to try and they taught me. We had so much fun laughing and skating, skating and laughing. It was even funnier watching my two munchkins trying to pick me up when I would fall but we continued laughing and I learned! 

Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl - Oh yes! I am staying cool. I'm pretending that my electric bill won't be a shock. But at least I have a good AC that I purchased a little over a year ago. 

Ice Skating in July is a REALLY COOL IDEA!

Happy Sunday to you!

Nina Hollander - The first time someone told me "Age is only a number," was when I was in a Super Market in IL. I was married but very young. An old man would wander around in that store all the time! One day, I asked the store owner, who is that man? He told me he didn't have a home, but he liked to be with people and walk around in the store. So the owner let him, and he always gave the man food. The guy was never a bother to customers and rarely if ever talked. But one day, as I was about to checkout, he tapped me on my shoulder and said, "What is age?" I must have looked dumbfounded and before I could open my mouth, he replied, "Age is just a number." 

Do you know how many times I thought about that man? That day he spoke to me was the last time I ever saw him and I pondered that question my whole life and admittedly, he was right. 

George Souto - An ounce of prevention does put my mind more at ease and in the state of calm. I do believe 80% of all repairs and service calls could have been avoided with regular maintenance plans before the harsh weather begins. 

Your compliment sure made a difference in my day. Thank you, George.
