Orientation and the first day of school

 The 2024-2025 school year is underway, and the great-grands were dressed and ready to go!  It was a joy to see the family cooperation in getting the babies off to school.  Wishing each one of them a fabulous year.

For the record, the grand and great-grands are in elementary, middle, high school, college, and grad school.  They are preparing to take over and lead.

Ethan's Pre-Prom Night in a few pictures -- May 18, 2024

 It was a pre-prom night for Mr. Ethan Barnes in Bowie, Maryland.  He was dressed sharp as a tack and the center of attention!

For me, it was another repeat of history. Another Miles child was taking a giant step toward adulthood. Old memories surfaced, and once again, I took that walk down memory lane. Eyes glossing over, heart beating rapidly. Thoughts of prom nights over the past how many years made this night extra special.


Shalinda's prom night kicked off the season of prom nights, and Lee's, Nneka's, and Ashika's prom nights followed. Since then, there have been at least fourteen (14)previous prom nights, with still more to come.

Prom night has grown into major pre-party gatherings that are absolutely wonderful and cost parents a fortune. LOL

Ethan Barnes, Congratulations.  Thank you for your tremendous efforts in all facets of your life.  Now, let's go take over Towson State University!  Okay, we can wait until after the prom and the walk across the stage.
