My eldest granddaughter will be attending Middle School next year. She’s growing up too fast! Thursday was awards day at school for the fifth graders graduating from elementary school. The homeroom parents and the PTA really made the day special for the kids. After the awards ceremony, there was a little reception (for lack of a better word) outside under the basketball court cover and the parents were invited to stay for cake and punch. After the reception, they were served a pizza lunch. Cake first; pizza second - a dream lunch for any child I should think. The kids get out at 11:30 am next Tuesday, the last day of school. That afternoon the PTA is hosting a pool party for the fifth graders at our neighborhood pool. We went bathing suit shopping Friday evening just for the occasion, especially since last year’s suit no longer fits her. Sigh, she’s growing up so fast! I know, I said that already.
Thursday was also the last Musical of the season with my cultural friends, Beverly and Janice. We saw “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and it was hilarious. We have already purchased tickets for the next season. I really love those evenings out.Friday was uneventful except I had lunch at a wonderful friend’s home after which we went shopping. I am redecorating my kitchen and have asked her advice. She really has an eye for such things. I have no creativity what-so-ever. My eldest daughter will probably be glad to hear that I have decided to get rid of my out-of-date wallpaper. I have really enjoyed the wallpaper and it hadn’t even occurred to me to change it until she mentioned the possibility of a much needed re-do. I have warmed up to the idea and now have added yet another project on our long to do list. Hubby looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned to him what I’d like to do. I’m sure he was moaning inside. He doesn’t want to say goodbye to the wallpaper either, but for different reasons!
Today was belt testing for the kids’ Taekwondo Academy.. Both eldest granddaughter and grandson did well. The granddaughter hates to spar but she is very good at it. The grandson got in some good fighting as well. I think they both probably passed their test and will soon be Sr. Blue Belts, adding a black stripe to their belt.
I think that catches me up on my blog. Now if I can just catch up with other stuff.

Yeah, you are finally going to get rid of the wallpaper and the frilly lace curtians that have been hanging up since 1991! That's exciting news. You know me... I need a change at least every couple of years. Can't wait to see what is in store, so many possibilities!
Hello Aunt Garnett it's Wendy. I see that Brittany is also moving on to middle school along with Ashley. I'm scared for her to go she just seems to little, but what can you do? Maybe you should just leave you're kitchen in the retro decorations they'll come back in style one day. Just kidding! Tell everyone I said hi and I love them. I'll see if mom can send you a picture of Ashley at her 5th grade graduation.
Hi, Wendy, I'm sure you still remember middle school. It doesn't seem that long ago that you were there yourself! I'm sure they will get through it fine. Okay, Bert, I'm waiting on that 5th grade graduation picture of Ashley now! Love ya'll. G.
