happy first day of school

this morning's project: assembling Mr. J's back to school basket of love. from here it needs a few additions--more apples, a special treat, a celebratory sparkly drink (mini martinelli's when I can find it). then some fluffing and fussing and arranging just-so. then ready to be specially-delivered by the wife and kids/fan club at lunch time.
it's a tradition. a small gesture that says I'm so glad Mr. J loves his job and it's too bad summer ended so soon and I'm so glad to get our routine back and the house back and isn't the first day of school wonderful and have a wonderful year and we love you. each year I toss in a few favorites and essentials and the bouquet of pencils, because doesn't everyone love that line from that movie?
