Of course, if you are feeling sad we do have wine in the cupboard!<br />XO PatPatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-29842399384868603772009-08-27T15:36:14.077-07:002009-08-27T15:36:14.077-07:00Paula--I do hope you find the little hamster.

I'm afraid he's stuck somewhere and can't get out. But, oh, the empty nest thing. My son is almost 18 in his senior year of high school. He's gone all the time now and I really miss him even though he still 'lives' at home. They really have no idea how much we love them. They won't until they have children of their own.Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358261311454047999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-50933149511905683232009-08-27T07:45:24.962-07:002009-08-27T07:45:24.962-07:00Stephanie, I know what you mean about the sirens.Stephanie, I know what you mean about the sirens.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-77148484194780701922009-08-27T07:37:51.885-07:002009-08-27T07:37:51.885-07:00I know what you mean about those posters.

I've never found one - I think that would be the ultimate reward.<br />My kids are all flown from the nest and have their own lives. I have never stopped wondering where they are when I hear sirens, though.Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-56839805704975936702009-08-27T07:28:27.738-07:002009-08-27T07:28:27.738-07:00Hi Steven,

We had a few with Jamie, starting with a week away with the school band and working up to six weeks with a family in Mexico, then the the last two years at UBC but coming home in the summer. The hardest for me was seeing him off at the airport on his way to Mexico. Parenthood is so full of losts and founds.
