This is the week that underpins our entire last year. After all, we wouldn’t have even considered uprooting if it weren’t for the fact that we are about to send those kids off into the world of college.

And here we are. It’s Andy’s last night at home this evening (Cora, an upperclassman, is taking her trip on Friday). A momentous event that seemed so far away is staring us in the face. And despite me trying to distract myself through work, and selling a house, and moving to the country, it’s happening anyway.

But not before I get to introduce the guy to Homestead Creamery for lunch tomorrow.
