when does school start back?

WOW - This early - no wonder my rentals look like sh** for August

DreamofFl. I saw your first post yesterday. Glad you came out of Lurkdom...;-)

Some of the schools in my area started back July 27th! Thank goodness I homeschool my kids. Otherwise they wouldn't have a summer. That is just WAAAAY to soon to go back. What kind of summer break is that?

That's horrible. I used to love summer vacations when I was a kid. It just keep getting shorter. My niece homeschools her kids as well, lots of work.

...and

All the better to score a deal on a place in Sowal in August before our kids go back to school (in our dreams, huh? Up for a road trip? )

It's a nice thought but I'm getting busier and busier in my "part-time" job. What a joke that is. Anyway, don't see any available time 'til after X-mas! You should go tho, and take the kids for 3 or 4 days. Mermaid and her family run down for quick trips a lot!

I sometimes think it's the only thing that keeps me sane. My beach .

I hope you have recieved my tution check and enrollment forms. I will be so disappointed if I do not get into your "Riding your Bike with Panties on the Handlebars, while balancing your Lawn Chair on Your Head" 101 class.

GTTBM, I think the enrollment fee for that particular class is one shot of Colorado Bulldog.

When we lived in upstate NY, our K-12 district began the day after Labor Day, but my daughter's hs graduation this year was June 23rd!!!

I know the Memphis schools here begin early--but so does my own college. (New faculty orientation is August 15th, and after that, there is all kinds of orientation I must preside over.) We bring daughter to college in NY (Geneva, NY) on August 19th--her field hockey tryouts are the week prior to new student orientation. Son begins college in Boston about the same time.

Given the late NY dates and the early ones here, we've had no summer vacation--and won't go to Sowal at all this summer (big UGH!!) My intention,tho, is to drive south at March break (but I know all of you would caution us re March break???

Yeah, the schools are starting early here. We wouldn't come during spring break. 4th of July week that year was packed enough with college kids. But does the Sowal area really get alot of spring breakers compared to places like Panama City Beach??? Well, if it is any consolation we are not going to get to come this year either. No beach, makes me very sad! We have opted for a 3 night stay at a nearby state park in a cabin at the end of September. I hope it is cool there as I love cool nights. Won't be as nice as the beach, but will be nice!

Whew! Then I'm in! Me, you, Miss Kitty and whoever we can con into it! October! I was afraid I wouldn't make the cut. ;-)

Possibly. Although you know the Kitty gets pssssssst if you act too needy! In the meantime, I am boning up on the Colorado Bulldog end of the entrance exam! It's tough!

"Walking Down the Stairs Gracefully After Celebrating Sunset at B&A'S"

I need this class. I'm pretty sure I am not looking too graceful, with both arms wrapped around the railing, inching my way down. Maybe they should just install an elevator.

Has anybody ever seen a spectacular fall down those stairs before?

WHAT?!?!? Really??

Kidding about the ex part, but I did stumble down the last few steps, ended up flat at the bottom. Lovely vision I'm sure, everyone with me was cracking up laughing. (me too) Had on the cutest little platform sandal things that don't mix well with alcohol, lost 'em in the accident. Bummer
