When Laura tells me that she wants some Christmas decorations for her dorm room, I cannot just take her to the store. It is so different these days with her being at college. So, I improvise and take lots of pictures.
From those pictures, she narrows it down. This will hang on her dorm room door.
And, the Santa Suit garland will either be in her dorm room or she will use it at home.
Shopping is different. It is also hard at times. I miss my kid.
