Penny Loafers? Haven’t heard those words in YEARS! You realize how old we are here, right? LOL!
I think my favorite memory of going back to school, at least in my Catholic grade school was my new 64 count box of Crayola Crayons with the crayon sharpener in the back of the box every year and the smell of those crayons when you opened that box! Oh yes, and my new plastic pencil case each year! :-) Good times, good times!
