    My three children just walked out the door, it's the first day of school here in S.C. A full day of quiet sewing time is my plan!

    I taught for 30 yrs. in PA. Our schools never start until after Labor Day. And, we go longer in June to make up for snow days. When do your kids finish in June?

    We start after Labor day here in WI, too, I think because of the tourist trade up here!

    Last day of school is June 3rd here. We moved here from New Hampshire five years ago. At that time school started the first week of August. The governor decided the state was losing out on tourist tax dollars so changed it to mid August. It still feels too early to me, but better than what it was!

    We moved from Iowa (June 7 out) to Nebraska (Aug 15 start) one year, and the kids thought they were cheated out of their summer! Ah well. :lol:

    Enjoy your quilting time!! :thumbup:
