And I know this will be no Woodstock, or even Day on the Green (my memory of such events!), although I know I'd be completely naive to believe that there won't be drugs and alcohol there. But this child of mine, this youngest, is now a full-fledged adult -- and one with a good head on her shoulders and tons of common sense -- so I gave her a hug and a kiss this morning and wished her well, knowing that she'll have a blast for four full days, and will come back on Tuesday, dying for a shower, some sleep and some good, healthy food!

Kat-squatch!
Kat is headed to the Sasquatch Music Festival at The Gorge in George (Washington) this weekend. Maybe it's my "child of the 60's" mentality, but I can't help but worry. OK, "worry" is probably too strong a word. After all, she's going with six strapping young men, good guys who have been friends of hers for years (and who we know), so I know she'll be well taken care of.

oooh music festivals are sooo fun. I don't think there is something to worry about. She's old and wise enough.
ReplyDeleteAnd look at that beaming smile on her! I had to comfort a mom whose son is leaving Sunday to go visit my Danish 'son' in Denmark. Her son has never traveled outside the States before. I know Danish son's family and know her son will be fine. It's scary to let go sometimes. (Son going to DK is 20).
ReplyDeleteThe gorge is so fun!!! And she is ADORABLE! I hope she had a blast.
