The day started with the hot water heater literally showering boxes of photos in the basement, with a profoundly poor-timed leak. The four of us were on our way out the door for Aaron’s college visits but delayed the departure to spread dozens of pre-digital memories out on the family room floor. Here’s hoping the pictures dry well enough to be worth keeping.
Rather than be bogged down with depression over drenched photographs, I spent the day taking dozens more of a child who grew much too fast and is a measly year away from moving on. He’s still looking for where he’s going next, and we were along for the ride. Actually, we were the ride.

What a wonderful reaction to an unfortunate photo event! What a wonderful son! What a wonderful mother! What wonderful opportunities! What a wonderful post!
I feel so lucky that I can witness all this wonderfulness, through you.

You’re great for the ego, lady. 🙂

You were in my neck of the woods! Those signs are maybe twenty five minutes from my house. Pity I wasn’t home.

Sorry we missed you. 🙂

We weren’t likely to connect, but if your son winds up in New Haven (congratulations!)… let’s make a plan to share tea or coffee together and geek out about martial arts and blogging for 20 minutes or so. 🙂
