Having a Woodford and Camacho. Took Baby Girl to college today. Not sad but celebrating. She's strong, has great faith, a leader, beautiful, a people person,... Everything I hoped to have in a daughter and friend. I'm so damn proud. I have made it a point to be close to my kids. I want them to have everything I didn't.

On a side note. Her dorm is two blocks from my favorite cigar bar. Yipee. @hapster... Pm me your address at home or office... I'll send you a surprise.

    Mine has graduated and is moving to Seattle (sniff) for her second stint with Americorp. She's everthing you'd ever want in a daughter.

    Screw you guys. Now I have to think about this for the next 18 years with 18 month old and newborn daughters. I'm going to cry in my drink every night like a damn country song.

    My son got his driver's license today. He's taking off in a few to hang with some buddies in his new (to him) car. I was at my buddy's house today who just had twins 2 weeks ago. They are tiny! man, seems like yesterday mine were tiny and incapable of taking care of themselves. Now they are huge and incapable of taking care of themselves :))

    It sounds like you did great job raising her I know how you feel, I am taking my daughter on Friday, I have mixed feelings, she is my oldest and first to leave.

    on the 28th of this month we get to  go to my twin daughters school to meet their teacher...  pre-school that is :)) ...  right now 1 is just about fully potty trained and the other- well hopefully she wont have to take a poop at school or it will get ugly fast... I am already imagining the phone call now."Mr. P., your daughter is screaming and crying for a pull up, I thought you said she was pottytrained?!"

    oh where has the time gone already...  and to think my son will turn 1 in about 3 weeks.

    =))

    Bud not sure if you read my entire comments. The first part was just a poke at CT... Go back and read all of it.

    He was kidding but had a few too many pops and it came off wrong. He's had a very tough week.  I talked to him off line and he's all good.

    Congrats @henapple. IMO, there's no better feeling in the world, as a parent, than seeing your kids grow up to be the adults you wanted them to be.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.
