The end of the school year, that is. Little One is released on Thursday for the summer. Sixth grade will be behind her. I think that 6th grade was my favorite of all of my years of school, apart from college.
I lived in Oklahoma when I was in the sixth grade. I went to school in a small town. I lived out in the country and road the bus forever and a day to get there. I was the first on one and the last one off. I enjoyed the fact that I knew where a lot of my classmates lived. And, I had some free time to finish homework or read on the bus.
Through the wonder that is Facebook I have reconnected with some of my childhood pals. It is fun to get a glimpse into their lives and see how they "turned out", and see pictures if their families, with kids and in some cases grandchildren. Some have moved away from Oklahoma, but most of them are still there.
Little One doesn't have too many big plans for the summer. She will spend some time with Nana (MOJ), the ex-laws (probably), and the EW gets 4 weeks of summer visitation, but she hasn't requested any yet. I will probably take her down to beach at some point, if only for a long weekend.
But the summer weather seems to have arrived. Today it is sunny and about 90 outside with a nice measure of humidity thrown in for good measure. Enjoy your summer, Little One. Play in the pool, relax, recharge, and 7th grade will be here before you know it.
