It was about 10 years ago I sent out an email describing the strange chill that had come over the house in the night. It turned out that we had acquired a teenager as Devon turned 13.
Our last teenager, Derek, just turned 20 on Wednesday. We celebrated by taking him out to his choice of restaurant (Claim Jumper) and having cake at home, though not both on the same day.
Happy birthday Derek!

And I forgot another birthday, again. Do belated good wishes make up for it? I hope so.
I think that Derek is my youngest grandson, and the only one in college at this time. That must be the reason that he hasn’t had time to write any blogs since his “quick thought” back in June.
Twenty years old! I can hardly remember that long ago, but I was in school, too, at that age.
Keep studying and learning, Derek. With young adults like you, this world will be in good hands.
Oh, yes, Happy Birthday!

Michelle is going to school but kind of part time. She’s not really in college like Derek is but at least she’s trying to improve her education. That pesky chemo-therapy makes it a little hard to be full-time.
