ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. My girls are 16 and 14. One more year of high school for the oldest. Don't know what I'm gonna do! Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I think I have said more than half them! My daughter is 26 and I now have a grandbaby who will be a year tomorrow. i will have to forward this list to her! BTW High School Graduation was like a huge shock to me, then when she actually packed up the car to go off to College! I did have to giggle at the part about watching the Notebook (that is such a tearful movie), she bought me Gone With The Wind and Scarlet DVD's when she came home for Christmas. We spent an entire day watching them!
ReplyDeleteVictoria, sounds like you have a wonderful daughter! I hope my girls are sweet like that in college! My son is a freshman in college , but he needed to get away. The girls will be another story. I'll need to be heavily medicated. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for commenting! Glad to know someone is reading!
