Debby is long gone and menacing Georgia and the Carolinas now. We got about 8 inches of rain and lots of tree debris everywhere. Winds were pretty fierce for awhile, maybe 50 – 55 mph sustained for the whole day Sunday and most of Monday. A lot of street flooding too.
mom is looking forward to not having the kids outside screaming for no reason… the neighbor kids are loud and the windows being open from the heat does not help. :j
No, this is the first week of school. I remember when kids didn’t go back to school, until after Labor Day. Now, they spend more time in school and learn less, except for wokeness.
Mourning for me started with buying school supplies. I wonder if they still have Pee-Chee® folders. That, and the little plastic pencil cases, complete with ruler. Not to mention back to school clothes and shoes.
When I was a kid, by the end of summer, I was actually looking forward to the start of school for a lot of different reasons. Though we did start in the first week of September…..
Get a grip Wilberforce – when back to school ends you’ll be in the working world and wishing you were still in school! Just ask Dad. Btw looks like Brutus and Gladys did a little rearranging of furniture. Maybe it will confuse Gargoyle. Doubtful
Yeah, that could’ve been a bad time for some, but not for use when I reached high school. There I was so involved with band, that that consumed my world. We were already planing for band camp in a few days and then right out to the bandroom and nightly marching meetings. It was intense. But, we loved it. We had a small band the first year, but enlarged to a 100 piece band by senior year. Now, Wilbur is young and when were young we did shed a tear for the lose of freedom of summer. The projects we had started were put on hold, but we got into school and it became our life. And life lives on.

Starting school before Labor Day is cruel.

Go to year around school. Give little Wilby something to really “mourn” about. Odd maybe but in Bible, one can “Mourn” (weep/cry) over Sad or Good.

Where I live the new school year begins right after Labor Day. How cruel to make kids go back in the dog days of August
