Countdown To School

School is almost set to start in 3 1/2 weeks. Wow! It seems that the summer weeks are passing so fast. As children, I think I enjoyed the summer days so much that it never seemed as short as it does now being at work everyday.

Just going in the grocery store the other day, I noticed the big display of school supplies. Me and Joe begin to talk about how fast it seems that summer is ending these days. It seems that with our schools, we are starting even sooner in August than before. Each year it seems to get a day or two sooner than the others. 

Sales papers are running rampant with school supplies on sale. Bargains that I can't pass up as a working parent. So, I already know where my Sunday afternoon after church will be spent. Then comes the school clothes. I thought this was the best part of returning to school. School shopping was great and the anticipation was even better.
