I can identify with that. Until a few weeks ago I had 4 teens plus two
grandchildren, my teens' friends.... Since moving interstate I don't see a
lot of my two older teens who continued on another 45 k's to live when we
moved so I am going there today to stay overnight. I went shopping yesterday
to get a few things to take and $150 later!!! I could have spent more but I
was being conservative, lol.
