THE BIG WIDE WORLD

She did it. She left me. My oldest is off to be a river guide in Idaho. I am so worried/sad/excited. I am hoping this is going to be a good thing for her, but the mother in me is really struggling with it.

Here she is with her set up. She is going to live in that tent trailer for four months. She has spent the last few weeks getting it ready with her dad and grandpa's help. She even made slip covers for the cushions.

I am dying and I know she is so excited she couldn't get out of here fast enough. Hopefully she'll be back after the training to run a river with us before the season starts for her job.

This is the type of thing she just headed up to do. I'm glad she has warm gear, 'cuz that water is going to be COLD! I am praying 24/7 from now on.

Yea, it was fun when it was us leaving home. Not liking this side of the fence very much. Totally cool set up. I'm jealous.
