Props to Charmion. Graduating without student loan debt is the greatest gift you can offer those two. After graduation they will be able take jobs they want, not just something in order to pay the bills. They will be able to buy homes or start businesses without reference to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that somehow never shrinks (and here in the US, can never be discharged through death or bankruptcy). They can save to go to graduate school later without loans. If Biden had been able to do the program he wanted to discharge massive amounts of student debt, that would have been the single largest boost the the US economy in decades (and the states that opposed it are the perfect example of cutting off their noses to spite their faces - they would have benefitted hugely also). Both of my kids worked, and their father made up the difference, for which I am eternally grateful. I did the running part - driving them to school and work and such, for my share (and more modest income.) They're moving forward, my son bought a house at age 28, my daughter travels a great deal. Your sibling and niece or nephew are very lucky that you're doing this for the grandkids.

Getting set to use the clothesline for the first time this year, and it's nice after the hackberry removal, no tree hanging over the top dropping bugs and leaves onto the laundry. Another lumbar pack (smaller, used a lot, from LLBean) from the same extra-dusty dog equipment storage shelf is soaking and will also dry on the line. I haven't worn this in years, since when my weight and health then were basically what they are now, so this pack will work for more dog walking or in lieu of a pocketbook.
