First Week of School

I've got to admit I've been thinking about all the fun things that happen these first weeks of school.  I've always loved the first day with the kids!   So exciting!  I am missing all that, but not the long days, etc.
It's a pretty slow life up here in the UP.  I do appreciate the beauty and the weather.  Most days I walk to see my Mom which is really nice.  Over the week-end we went to a small museum that showed how Finnish people lived when they first settled in the UP in the 1800's.  Went with my sister Kris and her grandsons so it was fun to see it through their eyes.  We watched a cow being milked, and one of the little boys said, "Where's the cheese?"  His mom told him you get cheese from a cow too so he thought that's how it came out!  That's why I miss school.  All those fun young kids!
Working on a tshirt quilt for one of my great nephews who is going to Michigan Tech this fall.  it helps keep me busy.  I never travel without my sewing machine, that way you'll never be bored.
Today I have on my long jeans and sweatshirt.  It was 55 this morning and probably in the 60's now.  Still waiting for my husband to join me so we can do a little traveling in the UP.  Should be the first week in Sept.  right after Labor Day.
Two of my other sisters will be here this week, so it'll be fun to visit with them also.  Lots of family up here!
