It’s Back to School Time
I’m a grandmother of 43 grandchildren
and I still have nightmares of roller skat-
ing to school barefooted or being late for
class only to find a pop quiz delivered in
the one class I hadn’t studied for. I don’t
know where the time flies, but here it is time
to reschedule the calendar to comply with
school activities again. And it’s time for
back-to-school shopping.
The flip-flops will be replaced by new tennis
shoes and the halter tops and swimsuites will
have to take place in the
back of the drawer to make
room for the new designer
tops. I thought I was
through with the responsi-
bility of school shopping.
But, alas, the grandchildren
need supplies, too.
And what better way is there to celebratee
than to plan that one special last weekend out-
ing with the family. This issue pays tribute to
those events that will help us put a stamp of
approval on summer success.Kathy Barnett
