Poignant farewells notwithstanding, sounds like it will be a long time before you are a certified empty nester!

I am not getting any younger, but thanks to FR, I've been getting smarter! I'm fixing up the house where I have cherished memories of my one and only offspring from many years ago now. Downsizing is good; church bazaars from miles around are getting donations!

Tom is moving only a few miles away; he and some friends from camp staff have found a rental house. We’ll see plenty of him!

Sally (#5) is on the, “You have a year to move out” plan, now, although not (yet) with Extreme Prejudice. She should be able to save about $600/mo if she works every possible hour.

That would leave us “just” four at home, or three if Patrick decides to join the military, which has worked out well for some older siblings.
