my junior leaves

my oldest travels to college with dad tomorrow.
As the hum of the washing machine punctuates our home this day and the aroma of baking cookies fills the air ... the summer draws to a close and we become 3 again...

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. - Unknown Quote

enjoy the weekend .....

with those you love!

and ode to Love Thursday

LOVE is sitting side by side with Grandpop who is 70 years older than this redhead ... favorite picture on this Love Thusday.

Thanks TUFY

"A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the
contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together,
knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it,
keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."

READY...or not
