Hey Al, I remember the feelings when sending the kiddies off to Penn State and Clemson. It's been 10 years since my daughter flew the coop and 6 for my son. Wow, how time flies. Thank heaven for Verizon family plans and Skype! We knew when they left they would not come back to NY. As much as we would love it, there's not much here for them professionally. Good luck to you and your daughter! Blessings and safe travels home too!
I don't know about you, but we live vicariously through our kids lives. They live in unique places (Kansas and Virginia) and we get to travel a lot to see them. Their jobs are very interesting and we love to learn about keeping aircraft carriers running and how Cargill supplies meat to McDonalds! So, there is a bright side to their absence.
Hey Dave, Kansas may be flat, but the people there are spectacular and the Ag industry is alive and well! Wichita is a bit sleepy, but it has everything one could want except up-to-the-minute fashion and top professional sports teams. My daughter likes it, but misses St. Louis, her previous assignment. That's a great town!
