School Starts Tomorrow

These two!

When did they get to be so big?

Tomorrow, these two little boys will be starting another school year.  4th grader, can that be?  Junior high?  Yesterday, he was 2 weeks old and curled up in my arms as he napped.  Three short years until he starts high school, and his nana is already in mourning.  Just kidding..................I think.

So tomorrow begins another school year, and here I am tonight wondering what the year will bring.  Oh it would be nice if they made straight As and won every award on awards night.  Sure it would.........not going to lie..............but my very favorite award would be one for kindness.  So here's hoping their year will be full of kindness from them as well as to them, full of hope and optimism, full of wisdom to make the best decisions, and most of all, full of joy.  Their smiling faces will be reward enough for me.   

Tonight, my sweet boys, I wish you a pleasant evening and deep sleep full of smiling dreams with ne'er a thought about school.  Tomorrow is your day to shine.

I love you.

Pencil Skirts

Good morning everybody.


I have been under the weather the last few days, but I'm finally beginning to feel human again.  This morning I'm in the sunroom while the hubby mows on this semi-overcast day.  That means it will be sunny and hot in the next hour, but for now I am enjoying having the doors wide-open.


I've been looking at Pinterest and a lot of skirts have been pinned and Pinterest feels I may want to pin them for myself.  Boy howdy, would I ever pin them if I was 30 or even 60, especially if I were working.  I love tight skirts------that's what we used to call them-----and I looked good in them-----back in the day.


So gals wear your tight, I mean pencil, skirts with style.  Believe me, my heart is with you.  I would wear them in a heart beat if my legs would allow.  (Back in the day, we wore panty hose, and say what you will about the tights of torture, they did make the legs look a lot better.  I'd wear them with swim wear if I didn't look like I needed to be locked up.)


That's all I had to say this morning.  Keep tuned in because I am going to try posting more.


I love you.
