Hey Friends! Ahhh I can’t believe it’s August already—it’s in the high 90s all this week in MS, yet my kids go went back to school on Thursday, Aug. 3. That’s not a typo. August 3! MS is trying an experiment that nudges the calendar closer to year-round—the same number of classroom days but a shorter summer and more breaks during the school year, in an attempt for forestall retention loss. It sounded like a fine idea when it was proposed, but now that I’ve had school open houses in JULY, I’m just not so sure.
I am eating lobster through you. Kids already in school??? See you soon in Oxford!
Can't wait to try out Tender Hooks at Big Bad Breakfast on one of our upcoming trips to Oxford!
Loved your writing on voice! Thanks so much for the etymology too— beautiful.
