The Grand-Kids are both off to college..........

Last Tuesday was the first trip for Dennis and Crystal to the University of Iowa.  This trip was to get Dalton settled in his new dorm.....for his Sophomore year.  Dalton's girlfriend Sara ( we call her extended family).... was also back for her Sophomore year!   Here's the group photo before Mom and Dad head back home.

On Thursday they were back in Iowa City to get Miss Chauna settled into her dorm, as she starts her Freshman year.  Lots of stuff to move in........and a little grocery shopping too.  There's Sara again!

Back home at the "empty nest"  Dennis and Crystal toast to Success!

Dennis: "  Very rarely do this but gonna toot the horn.  Did a success toast.  The kiddos Dalton and Chauna have fledged the nest (but will drop in)! Think we did pretty "daum" good!  W couldn't be more proud that they have went out and on to adulthood!  I'm not gonna list their success bcuz it would take a lot of time bcuz they are that good!  Our guidance, their accomplishments!  We Miss & Love YOU dearly but also know that you will continue to Succeed!"💕

Great Parents!  Great Kids!  (Well, young adults!)


 It's been less that a week.................and Dennis is showing how much he misses the "kiddos"!    This is what he posted on the kids face book page today!😄😄

As for Rich and I...........not much going on. Ordered some new smoke detectors for the house, ordered new shades for the lanai ( they should arrive tomorrow!).  Yard work is about done......but the walks still need to be power washed!

Originally planned dinner with Nathan and Krystal for tonight - but Krystal is not doing real well........and has had a couple pretty bad days.  We'll try again next week.  Rich wanted to pick up a few things at Lowes to have what he needs to hang the outdoor shades, so as long as we were making the trip into Sebring, we stopped at Hibachi Grill.  First time back to our favorite place to eat since we got back from NY!  And we'll probably be here again next week!
