Good morning and happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I got to visit my old elementary school and it was such a blast from the past! St. Edward's has grown and changed with the times but I sat in a desk in my old 5th grade class and it still felt like all those years ago. And after babysitting my granddaughters, I have their cold. Fun times. I went through a whole box of kleenex yesterday. So hopefully, my brain is working today.
