lol TanyaL..we were Holiday Inn South for all sorts of kiddo friends coming and going during the college years. Loved it.
DH and I enjoy being "on our own" again. You just have to enjoy life whatever stage you are at in the scheme of things.
I'm with you on this... I would love it if my son and daughter-in-law moved in... or next door, etc. but, life changes and looking for new adventures (like quilting) is very enjoyable too.
