Rainbow bright

And he didn't even know it

A great meal on lava rocks

With a great son at the end of a great day with awesome friends at an awesome place

These college kids are smart

Why didn't I think to make one of these when I was driving the stick Ford?

Setting up a home away from home

Jack and his roommate Justin

Yeah, move-in was a little warm

Jack goes to college

And this was my view for two hours, seeing him driving away ahead of me. It was agony even though I told myself it really wasn't. He's going to a great place to do great things, why would I be sad about that?  But you know, I can tell you a mom's heart does not always work logically.

Carbondale bound
