Watching a master do a bobbin lace
from a Fall day at the Cloisters, NYC
I imagine myself spending each day meandering through gardens, craft demonstrations, lectures, museums and stumbling upon street fairs....
and attending luncheons galore!
Oh yeah, there's football laundry

My Marcus can be so mild mannered at times, but as a true gemini, there's that other guy....
and yes, there is always knitting
But I'm not an empty nester, I still have one more big guy to look after. And with all the lovely things I dream of doing and sometimes get to enjoy, there just isn't the kind of time I imagined there'd be when I sent the second son off to college...
Jonathan's first day of high school sophomore year this past September
Being a parent of a sophmore in high school is not for the squeamish. There are curfews to enforce, girlfriends to scare off (just kidding); serious homework to patrol and teaching them to take care of themselves - eventually

And all of this happened before December! Here, in this new year of 2010 I wonder what life will bring. I have a big surprise to share with you hopefully this spring but in the meanwhile, I am trying to find peace and blessings in the day to day adventures (and dilemmas) this new decade will bring.
My college student sons are growing up and away. I miss them so much but am so proud of their new wings.

I have a LONG way to go before our nest is empty, but my youngest starts kindergarten in the fall -- I actually will miss him being home with me.
Can't wait to hear your news! And glad to hear from you again.
I'm getting there...with a HS senior ready for college in the fall and a HS freshman! My youngest is relieved that my middle son will be going to college one way or the other. He's anxious to be the only child. The oldest is married...still getting used to that!
Good thing we have our knitting...I know it keeps me sane ;)
It is sooo good hearing from you (well in blogland tee hee) and the boys (young men) are so handsome!
*whispers* Thank God you are teaching them independence!
Many blessings to you in 2010 Deborah!!
wow, I guess I've been stoping by for some time now since you don't have little boys anymore. You have MEN for sons now!!!! Four more years and you will be sans sons at home. Unless they start to slowly move back in......
good to see you post!
So good to see and hear from you Deborah.Yeah- growing kids speeds up our lives. I wish you the best of luck.
I am on a short road to being an empty nester, and i don't like it :) but i am trying to warm up to the thought. Looks like you did such an amazing job with your son's.
