Fall Plaids...
# 78 of 365.
What is it about plaids that means fall? I can remember my back to school wardrobe as a young girl filled with plaid items. Not only clothes but lunch boxes too. So whenever I see plaid in the stores my mind always goes back to those memories.

Other things I remember about the first days of school were:
- the smell of new crayons
- being nervous about meeting new friends
- riding the school bus
- meeting at the bus stop
- to buy or pack?
- picking out the coolest lunchbox with matching thermos (glass lined as I recall and not good)
- covering textbooks with brown grocery bags
- writing all over the covered textbooks
- recess
What are your best memories of those first days of school?
The items on your list ring true for me too and I had at least one plaid dress and I still have it.
