Today is the first day of the new year of school. For 11 years I've either taken and/or picked up Lexie from school. She starts Grade 12 and will be now driving herself. I will miss all the conversations we've had on our way to and from school.
She confided in me and I am so glad we have such a good relationship. I never told her mom any of the "secrets". Believe me, if I thought mom needed to know, I would have but she's a good girl! She's always been on the honour roll and received the Super "G" Award. I didn't know what Super "G" was, but it's when you get all "Good" for attitude and basically being a decent student. Every year, every report! Way to go Lexie.
The picture below was my first attempt at French braids. I walked her to school from their home on 36th Avenue. Long walk, they lived half a block away from the school. I enjoyed meeting the teachers and the mothers and grandmothers every day.
