the wedding....

ok, so 4 out of 5 of us will be piling into the car this afternoon to go to cousin kate's wedding in cincinnati.....and the big question will surely be.....where is acw?........and my answer will be...he had to work....and then i will change the subject........when children no longer live at home.....they can no longer be cajoled into things like attending cousin kate's wedding........they can barely be urged gently into coming home for birthdays, mother's day...etc.......ah well....such is the process of letting them leave the nest.........
