Empty nest...

[Saipan]

Both boys are off to college today.

Just me and the dogs.

So now the house becomes a creative workshop....

Oh Saipan, I understand how you're feeling. A mixture of lonelyness, sadness, unknown future but also a guilty hint of elation and freedom.

I felt this way when each of my kids went off to college but especially my baby. When she left home it was devastating. But gradually we fell into a new rhythm of contentment and my crafts started taking over. Now they can't move back home since I've taken over their bedrooms for soap making!

I'll get easier with time, maybe a lot of time, but eventually it'll start to feel okay. Until then, my sympathy is with you. :cry:

It's just an odd feeling.

Here is a picture of the dogs, it's old, Stripe's (Baloo) parents Meadow and Storm are the right 2 dogs.

Doesn't look like you're going to be lonely with all that furry company!

We have become comfortable with the "kids" visiting a couple times a year.
