Libster, our school is on a balanced system so fall break is 2 weeks. I figure a couple of days out of the house in those two weeks is a small kindness to my DILs. But also a blast for me! We missed one of our normal group because he has grown up and has been at Coast Guard recruit boot camp for two weeks now. My heart is beginning to accept the reality that at 18, to the world you are an adult, even though to a GramE you are still a beloved grandson.
