Happy August Y’all!
Just after I graduated from high school, I made a comment to my Mom about how fast time flies and she turned to me and said, “Sweetheart, the older you get, the faster time flies!” If she were still here with us today, I would say, “Yes Mom, you were right…again! “

It seems like a couple of weeks ago when all the fanfare that accompanies Christmas and the New Year was here. Seems the end of the 2021-22 school year ended only a week or so ago and now... here we are. In a few short weeks, some schools will be opening their doors for the beginning of the 2022-23 school year.
Some students will be starting their very first year and others will be starting their very last year of public education. When you see your ‘baby’ start his or her first year of school, an almost unbearable event for many moms, you will definitely feel that time is swiftly passing! They become more independent and their little brains begin to absorb more information than ever – so much so that it’s hard to imagine. Then your ‘baby’ will drive off to start the last year of this segment of their life – their senior year of high school! Your daily ‘job’ is nearing completion. They may go away to college or trade school within the year or become gainfully employed at a job that just may take them far away. Your day to day job is done, Mom and Dad.
They have had about eighteen years or so of daily instruction and interaction on how to live life and be the best person possible. Hopefully you have taught them to treat others with respect and to treat others in the way they themselves would want to be treated. But above all, you and the teachers have hopefully given your child enough instruction on survival in this world so that they will do well now when you are not at arm’s length.
Summertime is great. It’s fun. It’s a time to rest your brain. It’s a time to grow and mature. It’s a time to move around. Then after all that, it’s time to go Back-to-School! Make it a great year!
NEW ARRIVALS! NEW ARRIVALS! GREAT TIME FOR GREAT TIME FOR GREAT CHOICES! GREAT CHOICES!
