Three Sisters and a Little Fellow

There are some big changes coming to our home soon. Big ones, I tell you. And I'm not too sure we wires like change. At least Glynn and I are a little nervous. Cap sleeps through most things these days, so he may miss it all, but I'm happy in my comfortable rut. The Girls are rocking my boat and shaking things up around here, and I'm not sure what to do about it.


First, College Kid (on the right in her Eskimo Joe shirt) graduated and got her DVM degree. The big ceremony was held at the Gallagher-Iba area (think Eddie Sutton Court) at Oklahoma State. Now she's packing boxes and moving to Maryland. She's going to live about 15 minutes from D.C. I just hope when this year is over she doesn't come home and bring a politician with her. Next, My Girl (on the left) graduated from high school, and now SHE'S packing up her laptop and heading for college. Talk about cleaning house! Who's gonna be left around here for me and My Boy to pester? And now I find out that Married Kid (in the middle, who I haven't spoken much about since she had pretty much moved out before I moved in) is expecting a little bundle in a couple of weeks. Married Kid and Her Husband live nearby, and I'll bet we get to see a lot of the baby.

Well, that last part might not be too bad. Having a Little Fellow for My Boy and I to hang with could be fun. That is, if he can learn to throw a ball. Maybe wrassle in the grass a bit. Dig some holes. Drop some Fig Newtons. We'll see...

My Personal Physician

We are very excited this morning! We just learned that College Kid has aced her state and national board exams and is one step closer to being a full-fledged veterinarian. Now all she has to do is get her diploma next week and she can hang her shingle! The only thing we're concerned about is that she's hanging her shingle in Maryland. That's an awful long way from Oklahoma, and a fair piece to travel to see my own personal physician. I'm thinking webcam. Oh well, it's only for one year in a specialty clinic, then she'll be back (we hope!!!). She just finished an three-week stint at a veterinary hospital in sunny California, so before this is over she'll have visited both coasts and the Gulf of Mexico areas. College Kid should have been born with wings, she travels so much. And if she ever packs her bags and heads north for Canada, we're goin' with her!
