Our Goddaughter is graduating from Eighth Grade! Their uniform is a cute little green plaid that I was always jealous of when I was in grammar school.

It was also about as hot and humid as it ever gets in our neck of the woods; the science of sugar and candy stickiness is definitely impacted by the weather.
