Welcome back!

It’s now after the fourth of July. School is out, temporarily. No major holidays are near. Think about it…Valentine’s day has passed, Mother’s day, Father’s day, New year’s Day, they have gone by and now there is summer. Gas prices are high and people are staying home.

What is there to do? Parents are no doubt thinking with pleasure of the day when school starts again. The kids are probably thinking YUK. (I know that I did, when I was a kid.) What’s next? don’t have a calendar handy right now; but, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas come to mind. Several months off. Planning for these holidays can start at any time. Who will you have over, how do you tell them to come over? In the old days you would send out invitations. Thanksgiving day invitations, Christmas invitations, word of mouth. Maybe now I should say word of text or e-mail? do people talk to one another any more? Guess I’m old fashioned in that respect. Not that I write letters. These blogs are mostly just my thoughts and ideas. I love the idea of family gathering together. It doesn’t have to be for a particular day. I grew up with mainly a mom, who didn’t talk to the other family members. Do people still gather? I hope some still do gather and enjoy each other. Times are tough enough without loneliness.

Sometimes I wonder what is going on. People are being made homeless. They have homes, but those are being taken away from them. How do the banks expect to sell them with money tight? Wouldn’t it have been better to re-work many of the mortgages of those in trouble?

Housing is not in good standing, people have to live some where. Don’t they? Under a bridge, in an abandoned building is not a good choice. What are these lenders doing? It appears that they are cutting their own throats. The very people that they had once chased to get their signature, they are now evicting. Variable mortgages, balloon payments, out sourcing jobs, high fuel prices, arrogant businesses…they all seem to be paying the price. After all what use is it to make things cheaper to manufacture, if people have no money to buy them anyhow? Foreclosing on homes….those homes will sit vacant because no one can afford to buy them. High fuel costs…People stop driving their cars so fuel is not bought.

Right about now there are fat cat businessmen out there with out any noses on their faces. When you damage the people, in the long run, you damage your self. The children are the ones who have had no choice in any of this, but they are paying for it still. I don’t mean to sound gloom and doom. I just feel concern for the generation growing up homeless.
