25 Years Later

It has been 25 years since I was in 6th grade.
Some of my friends from school organized a reunion for us to come back to where we once played together decades ago.

Most of us were able to make it and so did some of our teachers.
In fact, our teachers, when they taught us,

were younger than we are now.

Mind blowing.

I have such fond memories of elementary school.

I was very lucky to have such a great group of friends, and wealth of extraordinary teachers.

...and although it seemed smaller, the school smelled exactly the same. :)

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. ~Carl Jung

Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A River Runs Through It

Well, it is the middle of August and it is finally starting to feel like summer. We stopped by a local river to cool off our feet. We had ice cream after, but we were too busy eating to take pictures!
It is nice to have some warm weather at least for a little while, who knows what will happen next month...
