Huckleberries Online

TGIF Wild Card 6.6.14

Did the week fly by or izzit just me? Last day of school for lots of kids, though mine still have another week. The end of the school year prompted berrypicker Arpie to inquire about last day of school memories.

He writes, "As an old teacher I've had more last days than just about anyone. I just figured out that I'm up over 50 now, My best was about ten years ago when I changed into my suit after the kids left. I headed toward Long Bridge. When I got there I threw my flip flops over the railing and onto a waiting boat. I jumped into the lake and friends tossed me a water ski and I took off into summer."

Feel free to share your last-day-of-school memories here on your TGIF Wild Card.
