Lesson 711: Back to the Pack

Hello, Readers.

Eloise returned to school this week,

so Friday night feels like Friday night again.

This time of year is so pretty,

especially in the morning.

The dewy coolness of the day

captures sunlight in the most interesting ways.

It's been hot for the pets this week,

so we walk very early or later in the evening.

Don't raise an eyebrow if you see hubby walk by you

on the park path.

That's a squeaky toy!

The dogs will behave as long as you have the toy.

We try to walk after Sam's football practice every night.

As much as Sam doesn't feel like it,

a walk after practice loosens his legs.

He's sporting some odd tan lines this year!

School is starting.

Eloise loves school.

I'm always happy to return.

Here's your lesson for the week:
learn this word.

It's my new favorite.

Who wouldn't want to return 

when your walkway into work 

was this inspirational.

Yes, our pack is back.

And if we learned anything from the pandemic,

we are better together.

As the school year begins,

remember to

Schools are the grandest collections of brilliant ideas.

Motivational signs like these dotted every hallway

in every school.

The problem with this one is in the determining 

of whose right

is right.

Here's a wrong:

The size large iced pumpkin spiced latte.

We got a large to share--

Natalie, Ellen, and I each had a sip and

just about went into sugar shock.

If you want a 450 calorie shot to your diet,

go for it.

After you burn off some of that sugar with exercise,

grab a book.

This was my favorite reminder on the walls at school.

Huskies,

I have a stack of book recommendations for you,

waist high

(and I'm tall)!

I've found the best recommendations for books on

TikTok's BookTok.

If you haven't hopped over to TikTok,

run, skip, and jump on over to the book world.

Excellent reading models for kids and adults.

Speaking of models,

Natalie's sporting  her new band aids.

If you know Natalie,

her favorite things are bacon and band aids.

More Happy People gear coming soon,

mid-September, most likely.

For my colleagues at today's in-service--

my favorite session today was on the bees.

I also saw two yellow cars after work today.
