June has arrived
and with it all the things we love about summer! There is lush green grass to lie
on and watch the clouds go by, or to sleep on under a bright starry night.
There are trips to the pool or lake, cookouts, and cool evenings. There are
fresh tomatoes, summer jobs, and summer vacations. School is out, and a
different kind of learning takes place. Why not make this summer a summer of
learning for all of the family? Learn more about preparedness, skills to help
you be more prepared, and have fun in the process! “Summertime and the livin’
is easy” (below) gives ideas to add to your preparedness and have fun while you
are at it. Preparedness is truly a way of life, not a destination we arrive at.
Preparedness is provident living. We take care of our families and are as self-sufficient
as we can be. And then, in turn, we are more prepared to serve others, and make
their “summertime livin’” easy too!
