Second.. I want to thank Discovery channel for the nice disclaimer at the end of the show last night. It was enough to put you off eating rats all together ! I do want to add that the rats were very tasty thanks to Vlads excellent cooking.. That man could cook bricks and they’d be delicious.
So, today was the first day of school for Gabe.. that meant the hoeshold was up by .. (ugh) 6:30.. actually I don’t mind it much.. I just get pretty sleepy by midweek since It usually gets me down to about 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night.. I know I should l try to go to bed earlier.. but after 10 is my prime thinking time..
Diane made Gabe a good breakfast and we were in the car by about 7:15.. It was kinda nice seeing all the kids out waiting for the bus.. It felt like Fall.. in the mid 40’s and misty.. I evens see some of the trees changing color already. Gabe was thrilled to be going back to school.. I could tell.. Actually, I secretly love driving him to school. We always manage to get in some sort of cool conversation in the short 3 mile drive. It always reminds me of the time I spent getting driven around by my dad.. He always called them our ‘captive conversations’.. because I couldn’t escape.. I never wanted to, though. I still remember them.. and so does he..
It was bittersweet letting Gabe off at school, the end of a summer. the beginning of a new year.. .I hope it’s a good one for Gabe.. I just love that kid . Max also strated classes this week. It was really great havining him home for August. I hope his courses are fun this semester..
Milestones like this always yank on my heart.. Sam would be starting his senior year today.. driving.. maybe hanging with his same friends who we still see and love.
I hope it’s a good, fun and safe school year for all of our school bound friends. Study hard freinds.. nite Sam
