We established rules: no junk all over the floor, and he had to make his bed every day. Let's just say he's one for two. But he's lined up an apartment and moving out again in a couple of weeks, and I'll miss him! His mess, not so much.

Of course, Maria, I did have to take that one small exception to your fabulous new novel--there was that Florida Gator reference!! I guess it will be red & black at some houses, and blue & orange at others! Either way, at least they'll be clean!

I will say that Megan left her room at home rather spotless. Hummph. Why couldn't she have done that all summer? Oh well, will miss her but she too will have her own bathroom at college so I'm sure she's happier than a tick on a fat dog.

"And that would be different from here how?" Eventually, we're hoping college has a positive influence!

I was an avid fan of LIW books as a child and am not ashamed to say, am still. My mother bought me the books because she was a fan, herself. Years and years later, I did take her to the museum in Mansfield, MO. We spent two days and I marveled as the years seemed to melt away from my mom's face as she walked the steps of her childhood hero. It is a memory I hold most dear, especially now.
