School's out for the summer... School's out......

The Mermaid Ariel would give up her world to have legs. It reminds me of some of the comments I have received from a few grandparents over the last four years. "Oh, I would love to be able to see my grand children everyday." And others, "How fortunate you are to live so close to your children and to watch your grandchild grow." Nowadays, a song that could describe my days with Kenz comes from the old musical MY FAIR LADY. "I've grown accustomed to her face. She almost makes the day begin.
