Mixed Emotions...42º

Spring break gone in a flash...Seems like the kids just arrived and now they are packing up to leave...Rusty was up early and on his way before 7am, the girls are aiming for 10am...We've crammed a lot into this week but also had time to just visit, played lots of cards and of course our usual cooking and eating...I'm ready for them to leave, but I don't want them to go.

That's what happens in life, you raise kids to be independent, to try their wings, make their way in the world...We are so lucky that they want to return, spend time with us, help us with odd jobs and bring laughter, joy and tears for a week...We have the summer to look forward to with more visits from them.

Herb and I will rattle around in our empty house for a few days and get back in our normal routine...Crocus are blooming, Wallowa County Spring is just around the corner...Life is good...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
