I'm sad today...

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.  




It's time for Aunty Acid
