I hope I can live up to your example when it's my turn. Congratulations to you all! And I hope your empty nest doesn't feel too empty without him. He and his laundry will be back.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515011009838417816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-36061566061963475862008-08-03T20:56:00.000-04:002008-08-03T20:56:00.000-04:00At his age, the stories that begin with "This one ...At his age, the stories that begin with "This one time, at Band Camp..." are probably gonna have some REALLY interesting endings. <BR/><BR/>My daughter is a year behind your youngster and from my standpoint it's a scary year ahead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-23978551959531584742008-08-03T14:55:00.000-04:002008-08-03T14:55:00.000-04:00My poor kid went to a local college, so he stayed ...My poor kid went to a local college, so he stayed home for the first two years.
