littleb, I know it's gut wrenching when they leave. It's a whole different thing when they come back.
I had a unique Dad's Day offering that I'll share. My oldest (27) went to Italy with her guy of 3 years. I told my wife that we should expect an excited phone call from a gondola in Venice with news of an engagement. It happened exactly as I predicted. Pretty neat.
Now, we will need to organize some OT thread to funnel the much needed contributions to pay for a wedding next year. Shouldn't need much. I can probably get the free hall for free. Really, how much can a barrel of beer, a tub of hot dogs and a polka band cost? Oh, and a bottle of carbonated Ripple for the toast.
