My lovely daughter returns to school on Tuesday. Whee! Not that I don’t love her being at home, because I do. She is such a joy, nary a problem. But it will be nice to have the mornings to myself again. I certainly find that I do get more work done when she is in school. Besides she is like I was at her age: A total night owl. Now that I’m old as the hills, I can’t stay up much beyond midnight. But she’s up till all hours working on her web site, painting or writing. Ah to be young again.
