Happy 18th Birthday, Amanda!My little girl is not so little any more. She is an adult now, and gets to take her place in the universe. It came entirely too fast for me, but she seems to be taking it in stride with her usual quirky grace. I pray I raised her right, but I think she'll be fine.
Tonght's cake is chocolate, of course, but with ganache instead of icing, and coffee flavored ice cream. Ahhhh, at least her taste buds have grown up with her! No more gummy yummies, sour candies, or anything else sugar-coated-sugar flavored. There is hope yet.

Glad you liked those cute cartoons on my blog.
Here's hoping you have a a great Christmas.
I see Amanda is now eighteen. Time to prop the ladder outside her bedroom window and put away the shotgun.
And Amanda, I have a hundred words of wisdom for you on this day. Not that it matters, you wouldn't listen to an old phart like me anyway. Something big will be happening in the next couple of months though....and that is that suddenly you will be making your own decisions and present company excepted, nobody will care.
This can be depressing, or liberating, or both. But it won't be what you are used to. Just don't let yourself get taken by surprise by anything.
Merry Christmas everybody.
Merry Christmas Ann
Isn't it amazing how quickly they leave us!!! Four more years for me....although I am now threatening to move into her college dorm room with her!!!!
I haven't seen her for more than a couple of minutes at a time now since last summer. I have the worst case of empty nest syndrome!
