No more weekends home...

[roseya19]

It's official.  My baby -- my youngest son, who turns 25 today  (Happy Birthday!!!) -- is now officially living in Waco, Texas.  His company (Caterpillar)  moved him there with a quick 1 month notice, cutting short his job rotation in Peoria. He didn't even have time to come home for a visit before moving. :(  No more weekend drives home for him. Peoria to Milwaukee was doable, but Waco...?  He'll have to fly.  Not likely to be a frequent event.   We'll probably see him at Christmas this year, but only for a couple of days instead of a couple of weeks -- the Texas Caterpillar facility he is now at does not shut down, so he won't have that time off.  He'll be in Texas for probably 2 years, so I gave him whatever Texas living advice I could remember from my years living in Austin (oh so long ago).  Maybe we'll win the lottery and be able to fly down to visit HIM.  That would be a nice change, and it would be nice to see Texas again.  Sounds like a plan.  Now if only the numbers would cooperate.  And if only we would buy a lottery ticket...
