I feel that I need to tell you, that the first one is the hardest to send away to college, I cried all the way home to Ohio from
Wisconsin. Only one of our six children was remotely close, but a two hour drive, none the less. We now have grandchildren in college, one is attending the University of Queensland in Australia. OK, truth be told, it gets a "little bit"
easier after the first. I love your attitude, and making it fun is so important. I think that with Skype, e-mail and cell phones you can keep in touch with her, whenever you are needing to. That is what we do, I don't know how big your family is, but now that we have grown to number 26, I have started what we call the "Sunday News" I usually know what is going on in the different families. On Sunday, I condense it all into our news letter, they love it, and will reply
with comments etc. We have found this really fun.

Very nice! You did a great job.
BTW, my son and DIL just moved back to my area from Blue Springs. They had a cute 1930's hand crafted cottage style house on Lake Tapawingo. I really loved it there. Blue Springs is a very pretty area and I loved walking the trails in the parks and around the lakes. However, I'm very glad to have them only an hour away now.
