Last night E and V, my daughters on their way to freshmen and junior years respectively, said their goodbyes to some family, today some more friends and family. Tomorrow, very early, E goes off to Berkeley to start her life in the Bay area.  Friday, very late, V goes off to Columbia in NY to continue her life in the Big Apple.

Serious empty nesters.  Congratulations and good luck.  “Be good and be safe.”  I must have said that one million times in all their years sending them off to school, daily.  Be good, be safe.  Proud momma.  Emotional, life changing, transitional moment.

 AND

Lions and Bears

Last week we couldn’t believe we saw these two banners together, amongst a zillion others, at a local pizza hangout  on their wall.  Serendipity.
