    Tomorrow is the first day of school for many. Frances starts kindergarten. I'm so proud of her. I'm taking a late day into work so I can take her to school. We're gonna roll the Caddy, that apparently doesn't belong on the HAMB (BTW, it's for sale). She's pretty excited to meet new friends, her teacher, and learn new stuff. In her summer workbook, she had a picture of a '33-'34 Ford sedan to color. She thinks it's jive cuz the tires don't hang out (she likes real rods w/out fenders!) and it sits too high. I've taught her enough but she needs to know more.
    So proud, indeed.

    Damn straight. Wait 'til Ruby hits that school in a couple years. She's kind of a hellion.
     
  4. Enjoy the moment, my little girls are approaching mid life and I don't know where the time went.
    Good for you.

    She has already steered the Caddy and the station wagon in the driveway. I think a go-cart hot rod may be needed in the next couple years.
    Man, I really don't wanna think about teenage years. Guess I better start a gun collection.

    Like hotrod1940 said "Enjoy the moment". My "baby" is starting high school tomorrow, but it seems like it was yesterday we were walking her to kindergarten. It goes so fast !!!!

    Just try to make sure 'girl crap' somehow includes you. I take my girls all over in the Caddy (even though it's not cool enough). Sat, we hit a car show and later a car cruise. They know that Caddy time is family time.

    It's obvious that you are proud. That's priceless. Stay focused. They grow up too fast.

    The World's Most Beautiful Granddaughter started Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago. Is a little upset that they haven't studied any science yet. Enjoy it all, it goes faster than you might think.

    Yeah, they are just at that "Dad ain't cool no more stage"
    which sucks cause I'm the coolest person I know lol:D

    I know they'll come around, just flexin their little independent, boy crazy, fashion diva, punk rock muscles right now.
    They know I'm always there when they need me:)

    Well, she's there. You woulda thought I was the one being left. I'm a big pansy (not really, I'm 5'10" and 150lbs) when it comes to that stuff. She was so excited. Can't wait to hear about her day tonight.
     
  19. My Baby just graduated High School in June. And yes it goes by very fast!!

    Enjoy the time. They grow up fast. I clearly remember my daughters first day of school. She is now the mother of 3 wonderful grankids, the oldest of which just turned 13. Did I mention they grow up fast?:D
