I hope that many of you are enjoying your time at the fair this week?  For many it is almost like a reunion as many seem to return “home” for the fair.  For others, it may be the only time we see friends through the year.  Might I challenge you to take advantage of this and make it a point to schedule additional time to spend together?  As a wise person once told me “It takes a long time to grow old friends” and relationships take an investment of time.  When we share this example with our kids, we are really helping them build external assets according to the Search Institute.
