WW #71 "Back To School"

Yesterday the kids reluctantly went back to school. The summer went by so fast! They were not ready for summer to be over. And neither was I.

School starts HERE today ... a week earlier than usual for some unknown reason. I'm meeting my retired friends for breakfast in a little while. Your kids look great in these photos and I wish them a wonderful academic year.
Hugs and blessings,

Happy WW! I hope that school remains a joy for them throughout the coming years. Great photos!

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. As such, the Station Fire that still rages in Southern California hits home. I invite your blog readers to pray for the power of firefighters to overcome this massive fire.

peace, Villager

It is bittersweet to see all those school buses rolling around again!
Hope you enjoyed your summer!

The young man doesn't look too enthusiastic. The young lady is happy. Maybe just about the picture.
Happy WW

This year is flying by isn't it? My coworker and I were talking about how it is already September! I can't believe it.

Hope the 1st day of school went well.

Looks like they were happy to start school. My son doesn't start until Tuesday. We go today to find out who his teacher will be.

Wow! Eighth grade! One of my sons is a freshman this year. I kind of miss the littleness of 8th grade--they are way too grown up as a freshman:)

Hi Sue,
I know this sounds just awful!! but, I do remember how wonderful the first day of school was and I could actually sit down and have a cup of coffee by myself.

Wow I could even go to the bathroom and have a shower without all 5 kids taking turns wanting in!!

Happy day back to school and I hope the kids are loving it!!
Happy Friday!
Jackie:-)
