What a wonderful thread. At this stage, with four kids and a husband, I'm more likely to look back on my 20's when I was single and living alone as a time of haven. But my oldest will be a high school senior next year and I'm beginnning the road to empting the nest...
This fall as I had half a dozen Shellbacks visiting, treaties1 asked me what I was going to do with all the house when the kids were gone. My immediate response was to fill it with wandering Mudcatters. She's already volunteered to come and fill some of the space if it starts to ramble. Perhaps in time it really will take seed.....
