As I sit reading TOTV and this thread, I can hear cheers and laughter from a football game at the middle school that is only a few blocks from our house. It brings back lots of memories. This is in Houston, not TV. As thrilled as I am that we plan to make TV our home soon, I do not think it would have been a good choice when our son was growing up. His schedule and friends dictated almost everything we did. As excited as I am to be retiring and moving to TV, I do not think it can compare to the great times we had with him. I do hope to be proven wrong on that point.
I could start a new thread on "What happened to my sweet little boy after I sent him to college?" But I won't go there. After being on his own now for 6 years, he's almost as sweet as he was before - almost! We keep telling him how much he's going to enjoy visiting us when we get moved, but I don't think he believes it yet.
