Another goodbye party.. This one for a good friend Devin.. he’s off to Montana State tomorrow. He’ll be one of about a half dozen kids from Richmond who are now in Bozemann.\u00a0 Devin has been a fun presense in our lives for many. many years.. He was Sam’s good friend.. and he and his mom Peg, have\u00a0 been one of the core group of kids who’s hung out with us often after these past several years. Peg’s just moved to Ohio.. but is back helping Devon with his prep to leave..\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It seems like the whole summer has been one good bye<\/p>\n

after another.. All the kids who were in Sam’s class are heading off to<\/p>\n

new lives.. and you can see they are holding on to each other.. and<\/p>\n

their families.. and to us. <\/p>\n

It’s fun to watch.. and hard at the same time. Sam would be heading out<\/p>\n

now too, presumably.. that’s always in our minds.. but it doesn’t make<\/p>\n

the other kids leaving any harder.. or any easier.. just different. .. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Diane whipped up a great feast for tonight, ziti, home made sauce , , eggplant Parmesan, foccacia, garlic bread and Ceaser salad. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Everyone dug in.. There’s quite a crowd here tonight.. good that we had lots of food on hand.. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
