The Nest is Emptying!

Our sweet little baby girl is 18. How can that be? Surely this is a mark of baby boomers moving into the sandwich. We celebrated Sarah's new voting rights last week at a Moroccan restaurant in New York City. Here we are, waiting for the appetizers. It was GOOD. Especially watching the party inside while we dined al fresco.

Josh tried the lamb, I think. Here he is, trying to eat Moroccan food with a Chinese twist. It is tough to eat hummus with chopsticks! Actually they are not chopsticks (why would a Moroccan place have chopsticks?). Josh found a new use for drink mixers. Always the imaginative food and beverage manager. Soon after the dinner, Josh went back to Providence to get the apartment ready for his next year - the last year as a senior. How can that be? College graduation at Johnson & Wales University is only ten months away.


Latest news from the home front. Sarah's Apple is working, and not a bit too soon. She is off to Bard College next weekend for the next chapter in our lives. Her MacBook was acting up, but Apple has fixed it. In fact, the family now has TWO Macs. They seem to be easier than Windows machines, and the support has been incredible - fast and effective. No finger pointing between the software company and the computer manufacturer. Amazing. No wonder Apple stock has done so well.

Fern and I are retreating to the Poconos this weekend. I was looking forward to a lake swim. But I probably won't get one in, since the lifeguards are all back in school. OK, a bike ride down to the lake will have to do. I can do that now that the bike rack has been dusted off and fixed. Sarah has a new bike too - thanks to Grandma Bernice who gave up her Trek UAV for the budding college freshman.
