All Gone

I drove Daughter #2 up to Portland this past Monday. We spent the night with some friends from the old town, and then I took her to the airport Tuesday morning where I saw her off through the security gate. Not quite the same as seeing people off on the plane, but there you have it.

I drove Daughter #1 and Sis up to the halfway point between here and Portland where the other host family met us and took over. Daughter #5 rode with us to keep me company on the way home, but I really think it was so she could have a few last hours with them.

I did enjoy having them all here. I'm also glad I don't have to feed them all on a permanent basis. And it still sucks saying goodbye.
