The summer of 2009 is over!! Here in Vancouver the weather is definitely showing hints of the approaching fall season. Cool and Damp!
Only two of our girls are back-to-school this year. Kelly to UBC - Law, Morgan to Langara College - Library Technology. Robyn graduated from U of A last spring and is looking for work as a teacher in Edmonton. With a little luck she will be back-to-school as a teacher soon!! I'm sure it will feel odd for her to be on the other side of the desk after almost 20 years of public school, college, and university.
40 years ago, in September 1969, I was starting grade 7 at Woodman Jr. High in Calgary. We had just moved there from small town Houghton, Michigan so it was a lot of new stuff for me!
Top of the Pop Charts that month was "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies!! How cool is that! 40 years later Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica are still going strong. I've even heard that Archie has proposed to Veronica! Who'd a' thought!Have a great "back-to-school" day!

"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."

Amazing how timeless Archie is! Neat to hear that Patrick and Rosemary are into them as well.
I think going back to school will sink in once I am standing for the whole day and not sitting ;) I will be the professional: confident, prepared, and enthusiastic. Sometimes I can't wait.
Love you Dad,
Robyn
