Well, another week has gone by and on Saturday it will be September first! Imagine that! In a little over two months, I will turn sixty years young, and then it’s Christmas and New Years and 2019 will be upon us! Whew!
I remember thinking, when I was a little girl, that time went so .s.l.o.w.l.y.! But now, the day’s race by me and I realize how brief our time on earth is. Why just the other day I was starting Elementary School myself, and now my granddaughter, Savannah is starting First Grade! How did this happen?
Well, let’s get to the Friday Five before I reminisce any further about the passage of time!
- This week was so hot. No kidding. Until today, each day was 90+ degrees and humid. It’s the sort of weather we had when I lived in Florida, which is why we moved back home to New England. Let’s just put it this way. I will be very happy when the cool crisp air of Autumn is upon us! I want temperatures in the sixties, where I can wear jeans and sweaters once again!
- Is it possible to keep falling in love with your grandchildren? I spent Sunday and Monday with them and I just thrill at the very thought that they are mine! We cuddle and hug and it is just the best!
- Savannah started school today. Well, it was a meet and greet with her teacher when she got to see their classroom, find where her desk is and where her coat cubby will be. As she is entering First Grade, I like the idea of showing the children what to expect, before classes actually begin.
As you can see Savannah is a very happy First Grader!
- I’m so proud of her and Iknow she is going to be soaking it all in, as Savannah loves to learn things and is so proud when she accomplishes them. Go Savannah! Have a great school year!
- Going back to Weight Watchers was a very good thing. In the last three days, I have written everything down that I have eaten, and I have not put one bad, sugary thing into my mouth! In fact, today I stood chopping vegetables for my salad and for dinner tonight. I also made a fabulous chicken salad for lunch and Swordfish is on the menu for dinner.
So the week has been very positive all the way around. My family is happy and healthy and going forward. What a wonderful time for us all.
Have a great weekend everyone!
While I don’t really know about US schools now, how different is our niece Little Jo’s school to what I experienced. I expect it is the same for you.
