The kid is gone

So this week we dropped off our oldest at the dorm to begin her first semester of college. Man...I had no idea I was this old. Somehow, I thought I was still 18 or something.... But I'm amighty proud of her. My middle girl wasted no time taking over the empty room. Why do we all need these personal spaces to call our own? Even I have carved out my own space down here in the basement where my office is. We have an old house basement with original foundation walls and concrete floors, so I call it my cave. I'm sure anyone with taste would appreciate it....got my corona mirror sign, mule deer antlers, christmas lights....quite a special place. Stop by sometime.
