DESCRIPTION
Places to go, People to see, & Things to do in Michigan 2013TRANSCRIPT
B a c k t o S c h o o lI’m a grandmother of 43 grandchildren
and I still have nightmares of roller skat-ing to school barefooted or being late forclass only to find a pop quiz delivered inthe one class I hadn’t studied for. I don’tknow where the time flies, but here it istime to reschedule the calendar to complywith school activities again. And it’s timefor back-to-school shopping.
The flip-flops will be replaced by new ten-nis shoes and the halter tops and swimsuiteswill have to take place in the back of the drawerto make room for the new designer tops. Ithought I was through with the res8ponsibility
of school shopping. But,alas, the grandchildrenneed supplies, too.
And what better way isthere to celebrate than toplan that one special lastweekend outing with thefamily. This issue paystribute to those eventsthat will help us put astamp of approval onsummer success.
