Beginning to empty nest.

The young girl is now relocated to the college of her choice. The parents are back at home, settling into a new reality. The reality that the focus of our efforts for the past 18 years as moved on to the next stage of her life, and we are not overly involved in this new stage.

The questions that have been tossed around the house the last couple of days have included many what’s and why’s?

Why does the house feel empty? Why did the time pass so quickly? What are we going to do to pass our time? What are we going to do this weekend? Want to bet how much we will save on the water bill?

I think we have decided that we need some new hobbies. Photography, YouTube, automotive restoration, honey do’s and home repair. We really don’t know what, but we’re sure that we need to stay busy.

So the next few months will be interesting to say the least, hopefully we can settle into a rhythm of enjoyable hobbies and spending time together.
