My baby takes the L.A. train....
Okay. I just got back from taking my daughter to college and LEAVING HER THERE, in Los Angeles. I know Mech just went through the same separation thing--hope that all went well. I think it's all going to be a marvelous experience, but I'll certainly miss her. But it's a good adventure for all. She is so capable and mature. I know that even though there will be awkwardness and lonliness here and there (me or her???LOL), she has the perspective to deal with it as a ritual of life.
On the way down dear
Ms_Banazira and her husband put our family up one night. We had a lovely time eating out at a local vegetarian restaurant they found for us, and then later Ms B's husband pulled out those dance pad thingies where you follow the directions on a screen. You know what they are called??? It was quite fun. I'm pretty clutzy--it takes me a bit of time to coordinate my eyes with my feet--but it was really entertaining. And I loved seeing Ms_Banazira's house--now I can really picture where she is sitting, and which Elijah is looking over her shoulder when she writes me. I also got to see some of her latest work she has done for her fabric design class. Very talented woman, is Ms_B
My daughter just called to tell us her new schedule. She has two film classes, Spanish, and a history class. It's hot in L.A. It's cool in Seattle. I really like both places. I love how places have their unique feel, and how different their beauties may be. Her campus is lovely, with palm trees and Spanish architecture--and with that kind of weather, she can likely sit outside to study, even through much of the winter.
My mood icons are weird. I pick a mood, such as "contempletive", and the face looks kinda mean. So I won't use it. I think I"ll have to figure out how to put a new set on--my daughter did it for me before. I can do it. I can. :)
