Kelsea and I had a lovely weekend together in Steamboat Springs – one of our traditional mother-daughter trips, consisting of too-early morning risings for the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo, breakfast, walks, rodeo, naps, explorations, and bad late-night television. We talked and talked. And I got a little weepy on my way home, as it will be hard for me when she goes to college. Rightly or wrongly, she’s one of my dearest friends as well as my daughter. I will miss her.
Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Hiya Amy,
That Donald Miller quote is right on. Wow. Haven’t used That phrase in several decades! 🙂 When Kelsea goes to college you can Skype with her? Yes? I Skype with best friend in NJ every morning except Sunday, and it’s great. You probably already know of it’s joys as I am generally late to climb on the technological bandwagon. I just got a smart phone 2 weeks ago. I LOVED my old keyboard slide thingie phone aka Sock Monkey phone for photo I had on home screen.
Happy Day to you and yours 🙂 m & jb

I am familiar with Skype, but Kelsea isn’t a big fan – yet. I’m starting my campaign to get her on the Skype bandwagon! Hugs!

So Does That Mean I'm Southern
I love the hot air balloons and I am sure your wonderful relationship with your daughter will continue. The dynamics will change but not the love for each other.
