Melissa and I took one step closer to being empty nesters today: Sarah drove herself to school today in her own car.
Melissa didn't drop her off and I didn't pick her up. Something we've been doing in one way or another for our kids for about 17 years or more.
About a month ago Sarah found a cute little 2007 VW bug convertible and put down several thousand dollars (representing untold hours of scooping ice cream) to make it her own.
But there were a couple of minor mechanical issues the dealer was wanting to take care of before letting Sarah take possession.
A "few days" turned into several weeks. Sarah was impatiently patient.
Finally, the call came: the bug was ready to go.
So yesterday after school, I drove Sarah, Melissa and Grandma Trudy the hour to Rushville where the three of them promptly dumped me to ride in the bug, with its top down, of course.

And this morning a little after 7:00, Sarah drove herself to school and an era ended for good.
