The bride and I went to open house at Freedom Middle School Tuesday night. I was sort of dreading this 
because of the format. They usually have you go through a modified "day in the life" of your student. And it usually takes 2 hours. For some of the teachers, this isn't enough time. And the others try to fill the time with random topics of conversation. But this year it was more of a come and go deal. We were in and out of there in less than an hour. And if we hadn't stopped to talk to several other parents in the hallways it would have been much less than that. We met Sara's teachers and they all seemed nice. And not one of them grimmaced when we told them we were her parents. Good sign.

As we were walking down the halls to visit another teacher, I looked at the bride and said, "You know, this is the last middle school open house we'll ever attend." We went from having a first this weekend in moving Meg to college to a last visit in middle school.
I told a retired friend of mine the other day that I wasn't old enough to have a daughter in college. She said she wasn't old enough to have a great grandaughter graduating from college. I guess we never feel old enough for any of it.....
