Not-Quite-Country Girl

Summer came and went in a too-fast whirlwind and, just like that, a new school year has begun for most of our grandchildren.

My niece Emma is the newest graduate of the Gray family clan, Floyd Central High School Class of 2019.

My best birthday gift...my daughter Emily, who teaches mathematics at Shenandoah High School, was honored as the Henry County Teacher of Excellence.

How to make a gal feel old?  Attend the kindergarten graduation of the Class of 2031.

My oldest grandson Karter is finishing up his final elementary year (YIKES!) and one of his favorite activities the last two years has been SES Choir.

I may be a tad bit biased, but that kid in the Santa hat is the cutest thing ever!

Our son Kyler and his sweet family live near Cincinnati, about an hour and 45 minutes drive away.

This week marked new beginnings for three...well actually four...more of my grandchildren.

How did 45 years pass by so quickly?!

For the very first time, all four of our next-door grandchildren are off to school.
