So Sad...

<p>Well…now we are officially “empty nesters”. Dropped daughter off at college yesterday. This, by the way, was much more labor-intensive than dropping son off at bs. It took many hours and trips to nearby stores to get the room totally up to she and her roommate’s specs.
Today, Mr. lyme and I drove to a chocolatier not too far from where we live (but that we’d never had time to visit). Tomorrow we are headed to the White Mts. to knock off two our 4000-footers (we are almost done the list; we started back in the 1980’s, but family obligations made it impossible to hike much the past ten years).<br>
I am still sad and do miss the kids, but I certainly do seem to have a lot of time to do things all of a sudden!
I did hear from both kids today; they are enjoying themselves, meeting new people, and no homesickness yet!</p>
