Let the Weekend Begin

Life is pretty damn good...

We survived the roadtrip (more on that later), and came home to find Eldest had been accepted to college. My close friends and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and not so secretly toasted her achievements. Granted, she's still a senior in high school and living at home, but taking college courses simultaneously with her high school classes, and then -God, Buddha, and the Fates willing- she moves to Oregon next year for university.

That, combined with my company being based in the Eastern US time zone, is how I find myself on the front porch with friends getting pleasantly tipsy at 2pm on a Friday enjoying rosé (and maybe a few G&Ts) and enjoying the unseasonably cool summer day (a spring like 102* F).

Ah, this is the life.... One child successfully reared on my own, friends to celebrate with, and a glass of wine to toast it all.

Cheers!
