Well, she’s off… TO FIRST GRADE!  What happened to my baby?  When did she turn 6?  Where has the time gone?

 My daughter Lola started first grade this week and I still cannot believe it!  I still have fond memories of my OWN first grade experience at Chester Park Elementary School in Duluth with Mrs. Davern.   Chester Park Elementary is no more – the building still stands, but it’s now property of the University of Minnesota – Duluth.  But the memories will last.

I hope they do for my “baby”… I was warned this would happen – that time would fly by.  And they were right.  I am going to take her growing up “day by day” and enjoy every day!  Because NOW ‘they’ tell me…”Oh just WAIT until she’s a teenager!!”   I can wait.  No problem.  Happy Back To School, everyone!
