I remember back to school when I was in elementary school. It was always exciting to get new shoes, new pencils, paper, pencil sharpeners, etc. I was always happy to see my friends after the summer break. The saddest year was when my dear and best friend Marie moved back to New York City with her mom and brother. We loved to dress alike and thought we were pretty cool in our "go-go" boots! We loved to pretend our bikes were our cars and we were always on the go.When I had children of my own, back to school involved going shopping for that all-important first day of school outfit. We got school supplies, too, but the outfit & shoes were usually the priority. I like the line in "You've Got Mail" when Tom Hanks quips, "I love New York in the fall. If we knew each other, I would get you a bouquet of sharpened pencils". So happy fall everyone and enjoy your new pencils
