my joy, it has a great ice cream shop, so I had to stop and treat myself to two big scoops of ice cream (huckleberry and mint chocolate chip). The ice cream provided me with enough energy to finish the final 20 miles of the ride. As I finished the ride, I realized how lucky I am to have spent time in a beautiful place to relax and revitalize.
Our referrals continue to be one of the best ways clients find us, and we deeply appreciate it! for your trust and confidence. Thank you this part of our beautiful country. Riding on the trail makes me feel both peaceful and blissful. The trail is so long, you seldom see other riders. My first encounter with other living creatures today was about 10 miles into the ride, when I came upon two large deer that were walking down the trail toward me. Fortunately, they decided the meadow was a better place to be. The trail is built on top of an abandoned railroad line. It runs for miles beside a beautiful mountain river that empties into the lake. The river is on one side of the trail, and breathtaking meadows and mountains run as far as the eye can see on both sides of the trail. Halfway through the ride, the trail passes beside a hamlet with probably less than 50 residents. To A s I write this, I am on vacation in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. If you have never been to CDA (what the locals call it), I can tell you it is beautiful. Coeur d’Alene Lake has been ranked one of the 10 most beautiful lakes in the world. It’s a 125-mile drive around the lake. We have been coming to CDA for over 10 years. Since I love to ride bikes, I particularly like CDA because of the great biking trails. The trail I rode on today is 72 miles long — no motorized vehicles allowed. I can assure you I did not ride all 72 miles. Although I have ridden the trail many times, I always marvel at how beautiful it is; I think God was having a really good day when he created
I realize not everyone is able to take vacations. I haven’t always been able to do so. However, my parents demonstrated to my brother and me when we were young that you can have a wonderful time on a minimal amount of money. My dad was a coal miner and my mother was a stay-at-home mom, so they didn’t have the funds to take us on long, expensive trips. All of our trips were short. It seems like we were always going to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky or to the Smoky Mountains. To reduce the cost, we would drive straight through and stop at roadside parks, where my mom would cook our
meals. We had a great time. Some other memorable vacations we took were camping out at nearby lakes with cousins and going to state parks to spend time with relatives. These were inexpensive vacations I will always cherish. So, if you haven’t had the time or the money to take a vacation this summer, there is still time to treat yourself and your family. Call your loved ones and plan a short, inexpensive vacation. There are lots of options. All of us need a break. You and your family deserve a vacation. Have a great time.

August 13: Left-Handers Day About 10 percent of the population is left-handed. Lefties may be stuck in a right-hand-dominant world, but on August 13, they rule the roost. Originally founded in England, Left-Handers Day has taken off in the U.S. Righties are encouraged to try out a left-handed approach for the day. Lefties, for their part, are free to be themselves. August 17: National Thrift Shop Day Thrift shops are a staple of American commerce, so it makes sense that there is a day devoted to them. Take the day to hunt for lost treasures and screaming deals. Many thrift shops also benefit nonprofit organizations, giving you even more reason to frequent them.
February has Valentine’s Day; September has Labor Day; December, of course, has Christmas; and August has, um, National Raspberry Cream Pie Day. August may not host any major holidays, but it doesn’t lack for some of the goofiest on the calendar. August 6: National Wiggle Your Toes Day While the origin of this holiday is uncertain, it’s held every year on August 6. To celebrate, people are encouraged to wear sandals, flip flops, or other toe-exposing footwear. You can also frolic barefoot in the grass or simply stretch those digits throughout the day. Just don’t expect to see any Hallmark cards devoted to National Wiggle Your Toes Day anytime soon.
August 27: National Just Because Day This celebration is really scratching the bottom of the holiday barrel. Joseph J. Goodwin created National Just Because Day in the 1950s. It’s a day to do something “just because.” Be spontaneous and have a little fun. There’s no one way to celebrate, which is fitting, given that the existence of the holiday seems to defy logic altogether.
Do You Have Post-Traumatic Arthritis?
Most people don’t realize motor vehicle collisions can cause arthritis. What I am talking about is post-traumatic arthritis (PTA). Common causes of PTA are motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and falls. The normal symptoms are stiffness, swelling, instability in the injured area, and, almost always, pain. Typical bodily areas affected are knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and hips. Problems result from post-traumatic arthritis because the injury results in inflammation to a joint that accelerates the wearing out of joint cartilage. This can impair mobility, interfere with activities of daily living, and make certain tasks hard to complete.
The problem we see is that most people, and even many doctors, don’t take into account that the injured person may have developed PTA or are at a higher risk to develop PTA in the future
because of the motor vehicle collision. So, if you are ever in a motor vehicle collision, make sure you discuss with your doctor if you have post- traumatic arthritis or are more likely to develop post-traumatic arthritis. Let us know if we can help — we help injured parties get compensated for their injuries and do our best to help them get the medical treatment they need.

Back-to-School Supplies
Back-to-School Supplies
For the past several years, we have been using FSTN Jeans Money to provide school supplies for our employees’ children and grandchildren. We may not be able to provide everything on their school lists, but we can put a dent in the number of supplies they need to purchase. Over the years, our employees have found this program to be quite a blessing. Especially when there are multiple children in a family, purchasing school supplies can be quite
expensive. We are happy to continue this program and help our employees in any way we can.
