Here's Youngest Hawthorne giving his ol' man a hug.
He's off to college today.
A bittersweet day for Rosie.
Sniff. Sniff.
Godspeed, Youngest Hawthorne!
I just double-clicked to enlarge this picture and noticed that poor little Hawthornelet is all choked up about leaving home.
Hope he doesn't get too homesick.
Ah, huggles to Rosie. Just be proud that you have done a good job with your children.
ReplyDeleteTime to par-tay!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to wish a very happy 70th bday to rosie's brother-in-law (aka xmaskatie's papa)! See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIf you think it is sad when they go off to college, just wait for the unmitigated joy when they come home 8 years later (not quite all of them spent as a student). But I have to say this. He lined up the bags of yard waste in a very neat row for garbage day tomorrow. Tuition money well-spent, that's what I say.
ReplyDeleteWell, golly, Ticks. If they can line up the garbage bags in a neat row then that's everything. Good for both you and son-of-ticky.
