A tough time for sure, but the joy of seeing our children go off and chase their dreams makes it a bit easier.

All my best wishes to all of you!...DonnaDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959146424077963520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445127530546217589.post-35186114931956556402011-04-02T09:30:04.282-04:002011-04-02T09:30:04.282-04:00Congratulations!

You ...Big Big Congrats to Catie and also to Carson! You have two beautiful goal minded young women as daughters! Your good mothering skills reflect with their ambitions. I do believe they will go far in life…<br /><br />On your post below:<br />For houseguest, I keep a small coffee pot with coffee mugs and spoons in their room. Small baskets of flavored teas, filter packs of coffee, creamer, sweeteners, etc sit on a shelf above the coffee pot. I have a cloth lined basket filled with books and brochures of local spots of interest. A telephone and small TV are also in their room in the event they want to utilize them as well. I keep personal sized toiletries (razors, soap, shampoos, deodorant, etc) and a hair dryer in the drawers of the bathroom. I am sure to tell guests to make themselves at home and anything they may need will be in the drawers in case they forgot something. Our Friends call our house a Bed & Breakfast as we also make a country breakfast in the morning… <br /><br />Hope some of this helps….Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445127530546217589.post-58978795477761794652011-03-31T10:02:13.328-04:002011-03-31T10:02:13.328-04:00I can tell by your post how proud you are of her. ...I can tell by your post how proud you are of her.
