There is a crispness in the air that comes with the autumn season that puts a sense of urgency in people to enjoy the last days of mild weather before the thermostat drops when winter comes along. Summer is over and a long standing tradition for farming communities and homesteaders alike is to throw a harvest party to celebrate the end of a growing season as well as their hard work.

“Good credit, bad credit, no credit, NO PROBLEM!” You hear and see this everywhere, but mostly at the questionable car lots that can be found in every town, city, and state across the country.

Kids only get two months, if that, to enjoy time away from all the reading, writing, and arithmetic they endure during the school year.

They’ll spend ridiculous amounts of time trying to find the perfect South Carolina beach rental before dropping an insane amount of money on a place that isn’t truly theirs. Hours will be spent in the car or in the airport before they’re actually able to get into that hotel room or rental home and relaxation often comes too late, if at all for the adults actually planning these trips. By the time it’s all over and everyone is back home, unpacking and dealing with the laundry and misplaced sand in the suitcase, most will say with true exasperation “I will never go on another vacation again.”

Now that summer is here, people are going to be outside from sun up to sundown and enjoying the warmth of the sun on their skin. Children that have been cooped up inside during the cold winter months are chomping at the bit to go play outside. Luckily, the parents having been required to entertain their kids inside during the colder temperatures are just as happy to get outside themselves.
