Different

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.

Fire Alarm

Just as I was beginning to pack up the Halloween decorations, my phone rang. There was a fire alarm at my work building, and I was asked to report the scene. Thankfully, there was not a fire, but the decorations will have to wait until tomorrow.
