The summer flew by fast, Zoom-fast, as usual, and now it’s time for you to go back to school.

I always hate to see summer end, it’s definitely my favorite season.  All those warm, sunny days.  Everybody’s more relaxed, including me!  There’s so much fun stuff to do.  And all we need to wear (most days) are shorts and a cotton t-shirt.  Easy-peezy.

But Fall is my second favorite season… warm days, cool nights, crisp air and colorful leaves. It’s beautiful and it also reminds us that life isn’t just fun and games forever… we have to hunker down eventually, challenge ourselves and accomplish something meaningful with our lives!

And what better example of achievement is there than a return to school!  You, Miss Ainsley, have new people to meet, new information to learn and a whole new grade to conquer – First Grade!  How on earth did you get to First Grade so fast?  I’m proud of you and I know this year – though a little scary – will be a fantastically fun experience for you as  you climb new mountains (you were always a great little climber).
