A summer Sunday

Both of my kids are home for the summer from their respective universities.  This was the first year since 1993 that there weren't any children in the house. "Empty Nest Syndrome!" Ahhhh! It took a long time to get used to. We were only using our bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. I was only running the dishwasher once a week, grocery shopping once a week as well. And our house was sooo clean. We kind of gave up cooking and had to make a real effort to get back to it since we were pretty much snacking our way through the evenings. Now that they are back, it is another adjustment. However, having them around now that they are both, essentially, adults and good company, I may add, I don't look forward to September when they will, once again, leave the nest.
