Back From VT


I was spent this past weekend in Burlington VT with my daughter Hannah. I finnally got to go up and visit with her and her friends there and get a feel for how her life is away from NH. She seems happy, and indeed she says she is. I think it's really something to finally get a grip on life and start living on your own terms. For me this means not seeing her as often as I would like, but I feel better knowing (and having witnessed) how she makes her way in the world, and having spent some time with the friends she has there. Strangely enough, her friends are closer to my age than hers.....go figure....

Of course we made our way to some plant places where Hannah is pictured against a sea of Pansies. There was also a quick trip on and off the pier on Lake Champlain....it was windy and cold....and there was just enough time to snap a picture, then go back to the car and finish our coffee.

Something I haven't experienced... my dogs never make it past the intellectual toddler stage so I don't ever have to let go.

Well, I'm not sure I'm past the intellectual toddler stage...maybe that's why it's so hard to let go...
