First day - for the last time

Although in Bavaria the school holidays didn't start until last week - the pupils in our county are back at school today. For our youngest daughter it's the first day after summer hols for the last time. Just one more year and we're finished with school forever! At least until our grandchildren will go there. ;-)

It seems like only yesterday we had the very first days at school with our daughters. Most teachers did a very good job, some should have chosen a different profession. As I'm not allowed to post family photos without permission, I let my memories go back to my own first day at school. My parents were on holiday and my grandma took me to school. There was a church service first - I guess. I remember very clearly that I couldn't wait to open the cornet, every child in Germany gets to sweeten the start into the first serious part of life. Berfore I was allowed to open it, my aunty had to take this photo of me - and she was sooo busy that I had to wait for ages. Then I opened it on the table in my grandma's living room with my just as curious cousin beside me.
