Such a feeling of accomplishment! Tell your kiddos that Mrs. Evans (okay, Vicki to them) said have a fantastic school year and I'll be cheering them on in their education!

Yes, I should be doing that too! But my granddaughter who was married in February and just moved to Ft. Hook, Texas, has been texting me and showing me pics of her home. I'm SO glad she feels like it's home and isn't miserable. LOL

Off to read some now.
