Nancy,
Yup...Anacortes is up the way from me. It's beautiful here in the Pacific Northwest.
Western Bluebird,
I was married at 18, and both my girls were on their own by the time I was 40.
No, you were not being unsympathetic as far as I'm concerned.
I worked, was room mom, 4-H leader, fastpitch coach, soccer coach, and many other things for my girls, and when they left the nest, I gave a big sigh, and said, "Now it's my turn."
And yes, I'm so glad they decided to come back to the nest.
They both live in the same developement. Sure makes it nice for me.
'Nough said.......Goodnite all
Lynne
