So ends my baby's childhood . . . he has his first college class today. He is a laid-back sort of kid so doesn't show much reaction but I think he is excited to begin his college career. I'm still kind of peeved that the ratio of prospective students is unbalanced and he was only able to get this one class. I said that at this rate, it will take him twenty years to get his AA degree. My husband chastised me and said, "I'm sure it won't be more than fifteen years!" Anyway, we have a beginning and ask God's blessing on this new adventure.
Gosh, the cost of books, however, was a bit shocking. We purchased a used book for his class so it was only $60! Sixty dollars for a well-used, battered book. Sigh . . . Perhaps, it is a good thing he only had the one class, ya think?
Finished the quilt top for my current project. Sigh . . . don't have enough fabric for the backing so I started working on some Our Lady of Guadeloupe aprons to sell for spare cash to feed my hobby. I discovered some pretty, pastel rose floral fabric in my cupboard and it goes well with the Our Lady of Guadeloupe print fabric I'm using to applique on the bodice.
Have to round up a crocheting project to take with me this morning. My son's ride to college didn't work out this morning so I get to take him in . . . which I don't mind! It gives me a reason to just sit and crochet while I wait for him. The first day of class shouldn't go the whole time so it isn't worth the gas and time to drive home and then almost immediately back, again.
Watched some of excerpts from the debates last night. Not one of them is all that great but I hope and pray one of them ends up being sent to the White House in 2012.
