When I think back on the different stages in my children's lives, I think that each one is better than the next. You know, the first word, the first step, then the first day of school, etc. But I am loving (most days anyway) the teenage period. There are those moments of high drama (yelling, slamming doors) and total angst (sulking, long silences, one-word responses and shrugs), but all things considered, it's great to have philosophical discussions, chats about politics and society and a pal to watch baseball with. Or to go shopping at the DI with, in the case of my 19-year-old daughter. Now you will have to excuse me. I need to hop on my backhoe to make a pathway into Sam's frighteningly messy bedroom!

I totally appreciate the relationship I have with him and trust his advice on many subjects. It is great to have that kind of relationship! I like the Rockies team but hate the Broncos...

It is fun to find out they are your new friends. I've ridden on Amtrack a few times and it is quite an experience. Fascinating people ride the rails. Holly, you would love the novel, The Christmas Train by David Baldacci. There’s nothing better than spending time with your teenager/adult kids. It is fun to find out they are your new friends.
