Summer Days!!!

The days are starting to get hot around here in East Tennessee!  The kids are out of school and vacation time is looming near!  This recession kinda beats up on you every time you hear bad news.   Factory closing, job loss, gas prices increase, etc.  The next piece I'm uploading is called just that, "Beat up, But still standing!"  Inspired by Rocky, but motivated by all the strong willed people out there who've lost there house, car, lifestyle, but refuse to give up!
