. . . and after emptying out the car, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and cooking dinner -I'm ready for a vacation! :)
It was time to come home, though. Patrick is getting ready for College and there is still a lot to do before he finally leaves the house! And after that there will be a time of adjustment. After all, he was the center of the universe (his humble opinion) for 18 years, I'm sure it'll take a while to deal with the empty nest syndrome. But life goes on - and there is always the next summer to look forward to.
