Day Two Hundred Ninety Four 2013

Nothing worse than having to return to school after a two week break, unless it’s your teacher telling you it will be an easy day but it really isn’t because you have to do all this work, work, work. Not to mention all the homework [math!] you have to do when you finally get home. Grandson Elijah’s day certainly felt like a Monday and then some. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a more tolerable one.

Day Two Hundred Six 2013

Back To School



First full day of classes for granddaughter Shelby and grandson Elijah. They come to my house after school and hang out until their mom gets off work. These two are growing up so fast. Shelby is in 7th grade and Elijah is in 2nd grade this year. [I enjoy learning new things, but I’m glad I don’t have to go to school.]

Day Two Hundred Five 2013

Today was the last day of summer break for granddaughter Shelby and grandson Elijah [and the rest of the students and teachers in this county]. Last day of freedom for a while. I treated them to a D.Q. ice cream cone, either to celebrate their last day in the sun or to mourn the beginning of classes. Nobody needs a reason to enjoy a frozen summertime treat. Summer break is simply way too short here in our neck of the woods. Maybe somebody will do something about that one of these days.

Day Two Hundred Seven 2012

Back To School


Grandson Elijah is in first grade now. He says it’s better than kindergarten. Today, he caught up with his old friends on the playground who aren’t in his classroom this year. He made a new friend. He asks me, “You know what’s the best day ever? Pizza day and chocolate milk day.” ‘Nuff said. Looks like it’s going to be a good year.
