Sam is off to college

Our oldest grandchild, Samantha, just spent her first nights in her new room. She is attending Butler University and these are pictures of her room. It seems impossible that she is 18 years old and in college. We're proud of her and all her accomplishments. But we're mostly proud of the delightful young lady she has become. It's been fun watching her grow up. Now we are eagerly waiting to hear all about her next steps in life.

My question now is "Do college kids still like to get mail?" In this age of texting, cell phones and e-mail, we stay in touch on a regular basis. I'm assuming college kids still like care packages from home with things like homemade cookies.

Everybody likes getting mail. It's a long distance "I love you".

Looks like I'll be making cookies this winter. Maybe I can 'borrow' Paige's or Margaret's ovens. Mine sure won't do it.

About Me

We retired after years of being in the computer support business, Jane with Brulin Corp and John with Unisys. We tried tent camping but finally settled on RV living. While we are part timers now, we hope to move to becoming full-timers eventually. John works on his HO model of Ellis, KS UP railroad and Jane persues her search for used books to read and sell on Amazon. We winter in Apache Junction, AZ and summer in Indiana.
