Summers coming to an end

First I would like to thank Tana...she is going to join in on the CHS Blog...so glad she will be blogging...

Summer is coming to an end and schools are starting to welcome students back into the realm of learning...did I say that out loud. I remember starting school at Southside in the first grade...my teacher was Mrs. Darr and I deeply loved her...she was such a special lady. I remember meeting kids that would become my lifelong friends...I remember the times I got in trouble and times that I should have been. I took piano from Mrs. Michie and I remember walking down to her house during school for lessons. That sure wouldn't happen today.

Playground...jumping rope...chasing each other around...anything to get dirty and work out some of our energy. Sorry but once again I cannot remember the name of the principal at Southside...someone help me please.

I also wish that some of you would comment on the blog...this is for everyone. If you would also like to post a blog...just let me know and I will set you up.

Hope you all had a great summer...and guess what...WE don't have to go to school!!!!

"...back into the realm of learning"? Who are you and where is Terrie? (hehe) Ok, I'm feeling the pressure so I'm going to post one more time, but all of you out there who are reading this...it's easy...just do it!

The end of summer...how bittersweet. In grade school, I remember being so happy when summer began and even more excited when summer ended and school started again. A few of my favorite going-back-to-school things were...white Keds...new notebook, pencils, and paper (geeky, I know)...milk and graham crackers...bookbags...recess...playing marbles...Red Rover...jumprope. Ahh, life was simple then, huh?

I spent third grade at Southside with one of my very favorite teachers of all time, Barbara Shaw. We used to think she and the guy who delivered the milk to the lunchroom liked each other...never mind, that's another story. Anyway, she sometimes let Nita and I or others walk by ourselves down to Brown's grocery to get bubblegum for the class. That would never happen these days! I'm blank on the principal at Southside but I'm sure someone remembers.

My next project is to sort though my photos and send some to Tana. Everyone needs to make that your project too. If everyone sends at least two photos...what a great collection that will make. (But send more if you have them, of course.) You know you want your picture to be in there!

I had a great summer...and I'm so glad I don't have to go to school ANYMORE! But I do miss recess!
