Today is a big first for us. Caroline went to HIGH school. She was picked up at 7:15 and Bill said … “our daughter just got in a car with a teenage driver”!

Bill and I just returned from Lake Tahoe where we celebrated our 20th anniversary. It was originally planned as a family vacation but then high school volleyball (eek – high school!) came into our life and said “no vacations…
