Independence Day is less than 24 hours away and the scents of summer celebration are ready to be unleashed. The smell of hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill, sun-sweetened tea, fresh-squeezed lemonade, ripe watermelon and emblazoned fireworks will infuse the backyards, porches, waterfronts and street corners of many American cities and small towns tomorrow.

A report by the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council reports that approximately 150 million hot dogs will be eaten by Americans during this year’s Fourth of July festivities. While only a fraction of that number may suffer from injuries related to fireworks, fire safety cannot be ignored. A day to remember all that America stands for, the Fourth of July is a day that Americans must also remember and practice fire safety. Failure to practice fire prevention is sure to take the fun out of the Fourth.

This area, one to which many Americans flock, had become too expensive for her to continue living there. When my friend asked her where she might want to move, Guanajuato was her first choice. But, she lamented; she couldn’t live in Guanajuato because she doesn’t speak Spanish.

Raising children is stressful enough. Raising children and attending college is almost unthinkable, but it is possible. I had a 3-month-old daughter and 1-year-old son when I decided to go back to school and complete my first masters degree. Money was scarce and I was nursing my daughter who refused to drink from bottles. Fortunately, my then husband and mother could baby sit nearly all the time.

Timeshares and fractional properties have recently emerged as popular practices for owning properties. The premise behind these two concepts is a significant reduction in the amount needed to buy prime properties which enable a larger percentage of the population to buy.

A timeshare is as simple as the name suggests; this practice enables people to own any form of vacation property such as condominiums or cooperatives. This concept has been extended to apply to houseboats, yachts, campgrounds, motor homes, and cruises. Initially, the company owns the property and sells time periods of it to varied owners who share its costs collectively. Primarily, timeshare properties are available to the owners from one to three weeks during a year. These owners have several options to use their timeshare properties; these include
• Personal use
• Rental property
• Gift to anyone
• Exchange internally with other owners within the same property
• Exchange externally with owners of other timeshare properties
