Yes, yes -- I'm still here

I'm just so BUSY!

Yesterday, Adam and I drove to Chattanooga to retrieve our eldest from his first year of college. We left at 7:20 AM and returned at about 9:00 PM.
L - O - N - G Day. However, it's wonderful to have him home, the drive was pleasant and fine, and as a HUGE bonus, we got to meet his girlfriend and we all had a picnic lunch together in the riverfront park in Chattanooga. She's a sweetie and a half. It was great.

But today! Ugh! The first thing I had to do was make granola, so we could have some breakfast. Check
