Schoolgirls

Our adorable granddaughters are up early this morning and ready for school. Backpacks bulge with snow clothes just in case some of that white stuff falls from the sky. Their aunt left for the airport earlier while they slept, and last night's goodbyes linger in all of our hearts.

This afternoon we picked them up after school, visited briefly in the halls with their teachers from this year and last, looked at displays, and marveled at the tables piled high with "lost" clothes.

Tomorrow will be our turn to say goodbye, and then these schoolgirls will head for school again. Thankfully, a few weeks from now we will return. Joy!
