Day 19-Something you miss

Purple Days at Caryn Elementary.

Life was simple and fun.  Waking up Friday mornings, tired from a night of studying for spelling, mad minute math, and states tests.  Ready for assemblies, honor roll and student of the month awards.  Grabbing my Caryn Cougar t-shirt and mom tying a purple ribbon in my hair- I was ready for Purple Day.  At recess, a sea of kids in purple tees cover the hard court; ball wall, basketball, and Chinese jump rope.   Just carefree.

Purple Days were that extraordinary, yet ordinary thing that was a big part of such a simple life.
