Strawberries

Julija brought some strawberries home from Chandler Pond Farm and they are delicious!  Organic farming rocks!

Julija is heading off to Castleton State College to be a SOS leader for the incoming freshman.  This is a milestone, as she is driving herself there and back.  Time flies....babies grow up and bring you strawberries while taking your car for the weekend.

Yet, always my little baby.

While on a visit to Castleton to pick up Julija, I toured the DJ booth she and Cassie broadcast from.

Cool!

Julija and I made the journey back to Castleton today.  It was a beautiful sunny day so the trip was enjoyable, but I am missing my neon peanut, now that she is back at college.

The ladies back together again.

Julija's roommate, Abby, has Elmo slippers!  Sweet.

Julija is Home!!!

I picked up Julija from Castleton  yesterday; it was a harrowing drive back up to St. Johnsbury due to the inch of ice on the highway.  Even the truckers were driving slow or pulling off the road.  Truly a white knuckler, but we made it in one piece and now Julija is home for a while!  She, of course, has actually been in the house only long enough to eat, shower, and sleep.

The reunion of friends!

So sweet.

Mac and I went to Castleton today, kidnapped Julija, and took her to lunch at Roots (an excellent place to eat in Rutland, Vt).

It was a beautiful day for a drive and a visit. Study well ladies!
