Bitter and Sweet

It looks like it will be a beautiful day....lots of bright sunshine and warming temperatures.  Yesterday the sun shone but the wind still bit.  Hopefully, that won't be the case today.  I am oh so ready for warmth...

It is certainly quiet here today.  Ken left early to golf......his passion these days.  Isaiah is back in school after the weekend and Scarlen is moving things from her storage unit to her new place of living.  It feels rather weird as she packs up her boxes and her room becomes more empty.  While we all feel ready for this change in our lives, it still causes some apprehension.  She says they will not move "OUT" until after Isaiah finishes school and once he returns from his class trip to Washington DC.  That gives us a couple of weeks yet.  Saturday night I offered him some dinner while he was lying in bed after being up all night having had a friend over.  Yes, he would take the food if I would bring it to him.  I fussed a bit, just for principle's sake and then brought him his food reminding him he wouldn't be here for us to spoil him anymore.  "Bummer" was his reply.  Being empty nesters for the first time in 46 years will be a bit bitter and a bit sweet.  God help us adjust.
