August - Week 02

Around here this was the last week of freedom for the kiddos. . .school starts next week!!! It seems like their summers are getting a tad shorter each year and the breaks through the school year are getting longer. If I were I kid, I think I would enjoy a longer summer and shorter breaks through the school year. Back when I was a kid, we started school after Labor Day and we were done the day before Memorial Day. Our Christmas breaks started on Christmas Eve and we went back to school on the 2nd of January!!! Spring Break. . .we only got Good Friday off and we were back in school the day after Easter. But then again, I grew up in a farming community and us kids were needed on the farm to help with spring planting. . .and there were many times when during harvest kids would miss school to help with that. But times have surely changed!!! I do worry this year though. . .COVID is running rampent in these parts. As of this writing, my husband and I are the only 2 people I know who haven't come down with it. The way my body is at the moment I fear it would not be a wise to add one more thing to the mix!!! Anyway, it was hot here this week so I've been busy on birthday books, planning the Christmas scrapbooks and calendars when I feel up to it. And, between activities, I've done a bit of actual scrapping so here goes. . .
