I think she might have been messin' with you a little bit. Ice cream can solve a multitude of problems. Alpha Man is smart to know this. Oldest is funny!

It reminds me a bit of you. When my mom takes me to the airport for my many trips (my 4-year-old niece used to tell me I lived at the airport), she always hangs out with me until I get close to the front of the security line and then she and my niece (and sometimes my nephew) wait at the overlook at the top of the stairs until I'm out of sight. I love that they're the last things I see before I get on the little train that will take me to my concourse. The texts from Oldest show her sense of humor. It reminds me a bit of you.

But it sounds like you've prepared her well for the great big world. :) Aw, my heart hurts for you… not looking forward to those days.

I can just FEEL her rolling her eyes on that last one. We were just up in your neck of the woods this weekend, recovering from the parental visit. The stars were incredible, and we woke up to the sound of a pack of coyotes howling across the lake. It was sheer heaven! Oldest has a good sense of humor…and sarcasm.

It must have been really hard to see her go through security. It was so good you never cried. Ice Cream helped. Cyber hugs. Cool that she texted you pictures.

And interesting. My parents came to orientation with me [actually, that's how it was] - but they left me for meals, so I had to glom onto another family. I think my parents had an easier time letting go :razz: Oh orientation. Then I got a concussion... and I think they showed up. Awe… cute. And interesting.

My youngest is going away to college August 1st and staying off campus so a yearly lease so no summer vacations home and she'll be needing to get a job. She's about 3 hours away but I'm not a driver and she's moving north to snow country. My oldest has been gone for 5 years (the last year 5 hrs. away) and recently moved back home for just a couple of months - she gets married at the end of this month. So basically I'm losing them both at the same time! I can deal with them being out of the house but I surely want them to be within my driving distance :) I totally feel your pain.

Regarding those gas prices, isn't it sad that I thought $4.69 was good. Last week (here in Los Angeles) it was $4.85 so it's actually come down a bit. We’ll take care of her here in L.A.
