The Summer Is Over and It Is Time to Go Back to School
Summer is one of my favorite times of the year. As a former teacher and administrator, it was a time to relax and prepare for another year of school. I loved teaching and I would not have changed my career for any other. As a mother, it also gave me a chance to spend tome with my children Andrew, III and Akilah. I always had a combination of things for them to do from house chores to some educational assignments. This was a typical schedule (below) for them in elementary school and middle school. In high school, the schedule was adjusted for growth and extracurricular activities.
9:00 am --------------------------------------------------Breakfast
10:00 am -12 noon------------------------------------Educational assignments and chores
12 Noon-1:00 pm--------------------------------------Lunch
1:00 pm-5:00 pm -------------------------------------Field trips, sports practice, band practice
Swimming, etc.
6:00 pm –9:00 pm-----------------------------------Family Time /Free time/Dinner
We enjoyed a family vacation each year to places like Myrtle Beach, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, Gatlinburg, Washington, DC, Virginia and many others. However, there favorite places to visit were Atlanta and Myrtle Beach.
It was very important to rest, relax and prepare for the following school year! These were also times to bond and get to know each other.
Now that we have grandchildren, we DO Not have a schedule for them. It is all up in the air! It mostly fun, fun and more fun!
Please share in this space special moments that made your summertime special. You can share from this summer!

A few years ago when my grandson Amir T’Challa was born, an idea came to me one day when I was rocking him. I have not acted on it, but in the last few weeks my daughter Akilah and my husband Andrew have mentioned it to me to get started.
The idea is to start a website for grandparents call, Spoil and Return. This will be a way for grandparents to link with each other by using Facebook and other media venues to exchange ideas and stories about their grandchildren or their grandparents. Since technology is the way of the future, even grandparents must embrace it.
On this interactive site grandparents and others will be asked to participate in the following:
1. Share testimonials about the influence of grandparents on the lives of their grandchildren or grandchildren can give testimonials about how their grandparents influence their lives.
2. Visit Tidbits to find helpful resources, to chat and to ask questions about everyday issues and solutions regarding grandparenting.
3. Feel free to post fun pictures of you interacting and spending time with the kids.
The host reserves the right to view articles, tidbits, pictures and comments before posting.
