Kids on bikes escaping the summer heat;
Drinking ice cold lemonade fresh and cool.
Neighborhood baseball games on ev'ry street;
The smell of chlorine coming from the pool.
Friends push friends on the swing of rope & tire;
Running through sprinklers, throwing a water bomb.
Kids roast hot dogs on sticks over the fire;
Burgers on the grill, steak for dad and mom.
Camping, caving, paddle boat on the lake;
A sweet soft summer kiss from your first love.
A picnic sounds like fun, what should we take?
Fireworks exploding in the air above!
Elephant ears, turkey legs, county fair;
Roller coaster rides, summer's in the air.

Finding Treasure!
When you step onto the big stage of life at the tender age of 16, finding yourself married and with child, the meaning of both budget and value suddenly take on a whole new meaning. This was the case for me back in 1986. Even though I am a little more than 3 decades beyond that time in my life, my financial situation is much the same today as it was then. I often say that I pinch my pennies so hard, you can all but literally hear them squeal!

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
