School Days

School Days are here again for the oldest grands after summer fun. According to his mom, our grandson was looking forward to entering 3rd grade.

She sent us a list of school supplies a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time shopping for everything on the list: notebooks, pencils, erasers, stapler, highlighters, crayons, scissors, folders. Hint: it's a lot easier and way less costly buying supplies for a 3rd grader than a high school or college student! (We're saving now for that time.)



On our return home from our Cape Cod anniversary weekend, we made a quick stop in RI and rendezvoused at a Dunkin Donuts near the grandkid's home. Of course, his sister had to check everything out, but she doesn't enter pre-school until next fall, so no supplies for her yet.

A happy pair posing together, grandson and grandpa.

This serious moment for both grandkids is a definite rarity. 
Vote Today if there's a primary election in your town. We have one in Nashua, NH, to narrow down the mayoral field from 6 to 2 candidates. This is a sharp contrast to the small VA Eastern Shore town we formerly lived in where sometimes only 1 (or no one) ran for town mayor and a write-in candidate could and did win on election day.

I take e non-school age grands out and get some art supplies just for fun. This year it was picking out some good books.

I like the serious photos of both our beautiful grand kids... and so true on the difference in supplies when they are older.

I can honestly say that I do not miss the days of school shopping. But I do miss the anticipation I felt when I was a child. I liked school and always looked forward to a new year.

They do grow quickly. Sometimes too quickly, it seems.

First day of school here, too. Can't believe I got suckered into teaching again. sigh. But it is at the college, so it won't be too bad. Give me a chance to use up old supplies I hadn't managed to throw out yet...
Good luck to Bobby! My, 3rd grade!
I remember him in a stroller!
