A day off to get things done, empty the safe deposit box, make doctor appointments, pack a box here and there.  Herb and I throw away a dozen boxes of old tax info, you know, the kind you keep in your attic forever, till you move that is.  

Maya is packing today for her and Kaela's move to their apartment in Amherst.  Maya is excited to be getting her own place, and I am sure, very happy to be getting away from Mom and Dad for awhile.  A person going on 21 REALLY needs her own place to be sure and so do the parents.  We will miss the daughter, but not the daughter's mess.  I think I will probably cry myself to sleep the first night without my granddaughter, I am just crazy about this little girl.  I worry about all kinds of things for them both, but then I remember how much Maya loves her daughter and how much Maya has grown up this year.  I think this will be good for them, and the old folks too.
