What an honor it was for Jake, our little neighbor, to invite Jerry and I to his school for Grandparent's Day. Jake says "you're like my grandma and grandpa, my mom and dad, you are like family". So he wanted us to come. Of course Jerry and I did not hesitate to join Jake at his school on Friday from 11:15 - 12:45 for Grandparents Day. We met Jake and MaryAnn (his local grandma) at the school. Student's were handing out fresh carnations to all the grandmother's. Jake took us over to meet his teacher. His teacher said she had heard a lot about Jerry and Karen. Then Jake showed us where we needed to go to get our lunch. So we all stood in line to pick up our lunch. They served us barbecued hamburgers, corn-on-the-cob, cookies, milk, apple juice and an fruit juice ice treat. They also served cake for the celebration. Jake say's they only serve hamburger's for special occasions. Once we finished our lunch we went over to Jake's classroom to have our picture taken. Jake was so proud to have us there and we were so proud to be there in honor of grandparents day. Jake showed us around his school, introduced us to several of his friends... (mostly girls!). When the celebration was over Jake had to return to his class for the rest of the day. Jake stood in his class line waiting to walk back to his classroom. He kept waving good-bye to us. Oh BTW... Jake had a spelling test this morning and got 100%. Great Job Jake.
