AUGUST 2018 NEWSLETTER

With the transition from Summer-travels to the beginning of a new school year (and maybe some back-to-work blues), August can feel like a sudden downshift from the fun of vacation. Stretch out these last days of summer by squeezing in

a few more home projects, savoring simple pleasures and, when the time comes, cleaning up the beach toys and preparing the house for a busy fall. Pick

from these August “to-dos” to create your perfect end-of-Summer plan.

•Backyard Bugs...ew! Wasp activity peaks in late summer; these insects become moreaggressive and likely to sting in, you guessed it, August.

Lincoln’s Landing. He’s been representing LL for 2 months now, taking over for Ms. Linda and is doing a fantastic job so far! He and his family have been stationed at Scott
