Heading off into the next chapter...

This has been quite a week..  busy in every aspect.  Tyler has left for college!  Where has the time gone?  Being busy began while car shopping with him.  Typical car shopping experience...  oh come visit us so we can test drive and talk.  What amazed me was the unwillingness of the dealers to negotiate.  In some cases, they had brand new 2011 and 2012 vehicles sitting next to each other and wanted full sticker on both.  Tried telling us there was no difference.  Well Curry; Balise and the others we visited and test drove, you all lost a sale.

Tyler is very happy with his Nissan Versa.  The hardest point for me was him driving out on Saturday morning on his way to college.  Maybe seeing him miss the driveway and drive out across the lawn made me wonder if he had enough driving experience to drive to Georgia!!!  Actually, he drove right up to the front door to load his loot, not unheard of around here to shorten the number of steps we need to take to get to the car.  He's actually on his way to Maryland for a few days with his brother and mother.  Later this week he and his mother will drive to Savannah and get him moved into his new digs for the next 4 years (minus vacation time).  He's wanted to study 3D animation for as long as I can remember.  I always thought he wanted to work on Toy Story 4...  but I guess he really wants to work on new projects.  Best of luck Tyler on reaching for the stars. (Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks - take note of him...  he's good and will need an outstanding job at the end of 4 years to pay off his college mortgage).
