Good for them. My sons all were (and still are as grown adults) and that makes me very happy. I'm sure your sister is smiling down knowing that you're continuing the back-to-school bash. School doesn't start here for two more weeks, but, you're right--when we were growing up I think the entire US waited to start until after Labor Day. I kind of prefer it that way :) Beautiful bee hive and stitching.
