Dear Sisters,
I hope this post finds you feeling refreshed from a fabulous farmgirl filled summer and ready to tackle the back to school season. I’ll admit, I’m in complete denial that school has already started (or is just about too) in most areas. After all, the BEST of summer weather is yet to come! Here on the shorelines that means clear blue skies, no humidity and the anticipation of stealing away for a few more boat rides on less crowded waters. There’s no turning back now. It’s time to trim the sails and head for more structured shores. I’m cruising into this school year on the incoming tide with high hopes for smooth sailing ahead! However, my nautical chart tells me that with two teens in high school ( one still home, the other in school ) the chances for some variable weather and high seas are almost certain in Cape Cod Bay. It’s bye-bye BEACH and back to school for this HOMESCHOOL marm. Land Ahoy!
Oh what wonderful times/memories y’all have and now a whole new life to make more. So proud of you doing the home schooling – it is a huge undertaking but you know how to do it correctly. My grandchildren have been back to school for 3 weeks now, which means I too am back to school – well 3 afternoons a week – that’s about all this ole lady can keep up with. My youngest is in 2nd grade – wheweee they are busy little people but the teacher – a nice young man is getting them rounded in – he really is a very good teacher in may ways. Again thanks for sharing – happy holiday.
Hi Joan! Good Grammy you are for looking after your grandchildren. My mom did a lot of that for us too when our two were little! Enjoy and don’t let’m wear you out too bad! Happy Labor Day! xo Deb
Thanks for sharing your fabulous memories! How wonderful to have had so many years to watch Nicolette create along with you! I know she will blossom in high school, although it may be hard at first (for both of you!). You have certainly given her a phenomenal foundation to grow from, which is the most important thing!
Much love from the West Coast! Cousin Teri
Hi cousin Teri! Great to hear from you here! 🙂 Thanks so much for the kind words…and remember to keep those shoe boxes on hand! You never know what your kids are going to find fun to ‘ play with ‘! Lots of love from the east and hugs to all! Deb
WOW Deb, I see the next Mary Jane in that cute young lady. We will all be clicking on her webpage to see what she has done new. I saw in Sheri’s blog where you are looking for a Shasta 61′, I will keep my eyes peeled and let you know. We are taking ours on its first trip in another week or so, out to the OBX. We were going to Boston but decided maybe not so far on the first trip. Will let you know how it goes. Be Blessed. neta
Hi Neta,
I think you might be right! Boston? If you ever travel that far north look us up… We are on the way! thanks for keeping your eyes peeled for me. Happy trails and you know I want the full story when you get back ya hear? xo and blessings to you!

Thanks for sharing! Next Mary Jane, indeed! Such farmgirl creativity, I see lots of fulfillment and happiness in that for your daughter (and you!).
It is inspiring for the rest of us too….
You’re welcome Laura! My girl has been a great source of inspiration to me in so many ways…. She shines brightly for sure! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for the note! xo Deb
What a blessed young lady. She’ll have the best of both worlds…having been properly and thoroughly prepared for the latter by you. I love the music composition page. She HAS TO have music in her soul … to be called to write what she hears inside :o) You’re a 10 on the momma scale and you’ll be blessed many times over in the future due to your investment in your children…and so will they.
Such kind words my dear Shery…:) brought tear and a smile as I read them. It’s been the joy ride of all time to homeschool our kids for sure and a blessing beyond words really…She possitootly DOES have music in her soul…she sang before she talked! thank for stopping by my friend! xo Deb
