Waiting in the Wings

Spud got some great news in the mail yesterday. The large envelope contained a blue folder that held a letter (and other paperwork) informing Spud that he has been accepted by the University of North Florida.

We are so proud of him and happy for him. UNF was the first choice in his lineup of college preferences.

Spud will be an Osprey, the mascot of UNF.


Yam has been an FGCU Eagle for one and a half years now.

I think it is interesting that Yam and Spud (are/will be) both birds, an Eagle and an Osprey.

Bird's baby birds are on the road to leaving the nest and one day soon The Colonel and I will be empty-nesters.

But for now, the empty-nesters are waiting in the "Wings".

    Your take on the bird thing was rather creative.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! But I cannot believe that you....(meaning WE).....are old enough to have college aged "children".
    What a great Merry Christmas to Spud.

    We were flipping channels (well I wasn't flipping channels) and ran across a college basketball game: FGCU vs Ohio. FGCU playing a Midwest powerhouse. Yahoo!
