But you and your family obviously offer each other a wonderful support system. When it comes to transitions, there's no better way to ride it out than that. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014582949326182166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-54135912753297650032015-08-15T12:01:05.993-05:002015-08-15T12:01:05.993-05:00Thanks, Tammy.

My granddaughter also has 3 roommates and so far, so good. <br />My grandson is excited but a bit anxious about this change. There is also a waiting list for the school. He was on the list but got in on the first day of school. <br />Good luck to both of your boys this year.

My son moved into his first house this month, sharing with 3 other guys. He is already shocked that things go wrong with rented houses.<br /><br />Great news on your grandson's tech school acceptance. Our school only has a certain number of slots for the tech school, and there's always a waiting list. Those kids are thrilled if a spot opens up for them.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-78042493625866075932015-08-14T20:21:51.972-05:002015-08-14T20:21:51.972-05:00Hi Linda,

Our oldest, was much like your grandson, and attended a trade school, then started his own lawn care business, and is wealthier than us, and he is only 22. I am learning about retirement. They say it's a time to slow down and relax.
