Wednesday, September 1, 1993 BROGAN’S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

 

It was cloudy when we got up this morning. It soon cleared away, but we had a good rain before it cleared. It cleared and the Sullivans came at about 11:30. Up early this morning. Got ready and went up to see Brogan off to school on her first day. She was so cute. A very pretty dress. Carmen, Kim and I watched her to get on the bus. Then we followed her off to school. She went to Naples, we went down to see her into her new school. It was worth millions to see her. I hope I live to see her a few more and also live to see Cameron start???

Dorothea came later and she and Susan here for supper. Betty took me to the sale then she went to camp for rest of the day.
