Brought to us by the letter "M" and the number "7"- Maybe I should have titled this "The Big Day of New" ...new school, locker, teachers, friends, et al. But I think I like the Way Back Machine spinoff on alpha numeric sponsoships of a day. Remember when?

I attended the kick-off meeting this morning for parents, and the counselors won my heart saying how cute our 7th graders are - and it's true. Kids milling around in the hallways, happy to see each other, schedules in hand, teachers smiling "it's a good thing." - Suz

Brownies (old school)

There was something kind of nice about yesterday evening. Went to my mom and dad's and had time to visit for a bit. My mom had the Olympics on, she's always been a bit of a nut for the Olympics - time stands still :). My Dad's recovering from surgery and said he wasn't in too much pain, but honestly how fun is a catheter during a recovery period? Mom had made brownies, a big ol' pan of them. Mary Lou Broadwaters recipe - which means old school, and very good (she was our next door neighbor when I was very small.) That sheen on the top means it's gonna be good. My mom let me beg a couple off her to take home to Eric and Em. They hit the spot with the fam waiting for me at home. Thanks grandma. - Suz
