The empty nest…it does, at times, feel quite empty. The four of us are a close family, and raising our children was my number one priority. My little darlings, shown above with their mommy, are now 22 and 19, one in grad school and one in his first year of college. So now Randy and I spend most of our time together without children. Most of the time it is fine and enjoyable….sometimes, the house is so quiet.
