Today is July 7...summer is going fast! You will start school again on August 10! A lot has happened so far this summer: You went to the beach with your parents and another family; your Dad is off work for the summer & doing extra things with you; your Mom is starting to work weekends only so not only will she have more time with you, in the future one of your parents will always be off work; you are eating some of the things you have grown in your garden, your Dad's mother Tata moved to Florida; your Mom & I took you to Starkville to celebrate Maggie Rae's 7th birthday with a "spa party", you had swimming lessons at Greystone, you spent a sweet rainy afternoon playing in Granny's basement & drew some awesome pictures; you were delighted to see me arrive at your house one Sunday morning & you spent another afternoon playing with cousin Jackson at Granny's house. There were some significant political events including the legalization of gay marriage, the Confederate flag coming down in several states, & reinforcement of the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare").Since I haven't had a regularly scheduled time to be with you since school was out, this summer has been the most unstructured time for me since I retired last October. I'm getting a lot of things done at home including cleaning out closets & catching up on picture albums and otherwise organizing things as well has having longer visits with my Mother in Mobile. But it has been a little unsettling as I adjust to this stage of life. Every season of life has its joys and difficulties. However, the season of being a grandmother is a very good one. Later this month I'm going to my 45th High School Reunion. Time goes so quickly...it's hard to believe I'm so old! I want to enjoy & remember every moment I can of your life. That is one reason I do this blog & periodically publish a hardcopy of it. It won't be long until you won't want to spend as much time with me as you do now. But hopefully you will always want to spend time with me & we may have many fun times ahead as well as great memories!
