Hi all!!!
I've been super busy here with the end of our summer break and beginning of the school year for me and for my daughter Clara. I wanted to pop in to remind everyone, though, that I will be hosting the end of the August linky for the 2014 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt this weekend (I'll put it up to start Friday night, August 29, California time). Please check in with your latest finds. I've really enjoyed seeing what everyone has been up to on instagram and facebook. I apologize for not getting around to my feedly reader to catch up on blog posts, but, as I said, I've been super busy!
Doing what?
Well, helping Clara finish her summer reading for school:
Taking her shopping and then sending her off for her first day of her junior year. She looks very grown up for 16, doesn't she?
Hope to see you back this weekend for the linky.
she is sure looking grown up! What a cute pup! My cousin's daughter used to work at Guide Dogs for the Blind. A friend in our car club's wife taught at the school for the blind in Fremont and she has two dogs that failed out at training!
ReplyDeleteOne very good looking Junior, and quite the adorable dog!
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean no more cute kitten pics? Will miss those! Clara looks very grown up indeed. Good luck for her new term. Getting ready for school here too. Not sure I've much to link up at the weekend but I'll give it a go. It's not been a very sucessful month for the hunt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to volunteer, look forward to drooling over puppy pics!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very envious that you get to volunteer with the guide dogs! It is the charity I donate to in the UK, but the place is miles and miles away so I couldn't volunteer! Good luck to Clara for back to school, she looks great!
ReplyDeletegood to hear all is well with you and yours - what a lovely volunteer role
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the link up this weekend, will give me motivation to process photos.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Clara for the new school year.
Good luck to your daughter. Could you explain what the junior year is? My daughter is 16 and is about to go into sixth form which will be her last two years doing A Levels.
ReplyDeleteOver here Junior school ia age 7- 11 years
Gosh your DD looks so grown up , I'm not too sure what Junior year would be here.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the link up of the scavenger hunt :)
You only get one 16 summer...best to make the most of it :) School starts here tomorrow - can't believe it - with a new 6th Form uniform. Very best of luck with the new year Clara!
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely looking grown up! Looking forward to the link up this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWorking with the guide dogs must be a very worthy cause and fun as well. I would love to do that but we live in the country and sadly nothing like that available near by.
ReplyDeleteThink I have all my scavenger hunt list but one which is not really quite right, but I do have the 2 alternative ones so I feel like I have done quite well. Will publish them all at the end of the week.
Keep well Diane
Wonderful volunteer opportunity! That last picture of the puppy is super cute.
ReplyDeleteWe have been back to school since August 20th, and it already feels "old". My daughter is in her junior year as well, and it involves so much work. She is also volunteering regularly and will start German school every Saturday. It's a bit crazy, but she is very determined.
Oh my - she is definitely growing up. Best of luck to her for the coming school year. The kids here go back tomorrow unless they are in private school and then it's next week.
ReplyDeleteClara looks beautiful and ready to embrace her junior year. I have always thought junior year is the toughest but know she will do well. Love your new volunteer gig, has to be rewarding and I am always thrilled to see your animal shots.
ReplyDeleteWow Clara is looking gorgeous and very grown up! The puppy dog is totally cute. My daughter wants a dog but she wants a puppy, I've been trying to explain how they don't stay puppies for very long so it's not something she should focus on. But she's only 6 so she still wants a puppy! (She's not going to get any kind of dog for a few years though!) x
