It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?

August 26th, 2007 categories: Central Connecticut News & Information

The end of summer signals several things for me, some good, some not so good:

Back to school.  While parents of school age children rejoice at the beginning of school, I cringe because it means more traffic as the teachers and parents not on vacation get in their cars and clog up the roads.

Goodbye flip flops.  Normally, I stash my flip flops in a corner of my closet around this time of year.  After breaking my foot in my flip flops recently, I think it’s time to retire them altogether.  After my fall, ABC did a report on just how dangerous flip flops are.  My father, also known as “Safety Dad” (I call him that because he gives me things like pepper spray and fire extinguishers for gifts) sent me a link today Flip flop Hazards from a recent ABC story.

Closings.  August is a busy month to be a real estate agent.  Everyone wants to close on their house by the end of the month and move in before school starts, even if they don’t have kids.  Conversely, everyone in real estate tries to squeeze in a little time off.  The upside is my wallet is a little heavier.

Fairs!  I love going to fairs.  Fried dough, farm animals and crafts - nothing is better on a late summer day.  I recently found this site listing all the fairs in CT, Association of CT Fairs.  If you love fair hopping like me, you can even get a pass for the entire season (click on season passes).

   I couldn’t agree with you more. Being in the mortgage industry, I find this time of year to be so much fun as we usher in the fall season!
