My fear is that my kids won't want to do any of that when they are older...yours give me hope. :)<BR/><BR/>So sorry about the hurt you had to deal with over the weekend. That always cuts deep, but I'm glad you were able to move forward from it.angie {the arthur clan}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15014458014243300979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294080519603228096.post-56051882642536256012008-12-09T12:17:00.000-05:002008-12-09T12:17:00.000-05:00Great post.

I told her that if she were interested in some special major, i.e. marine biology, that only some school far away had, then she would need to consider going further away. At this point, the major she is interested in is offered at many of the more local schools so there is no reason (nor do we have the $$$) for her to go to a far-away school.<BR/><BR/>We will hit one or two schools in January when she's got half days of school.<BR/><BR/>The cookies are delish, btw!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Nora, she plays clarinet and is learning alto sax. My son plays alto and bari sax. Both are in the marching/concert band, jazz band, and my son is also in the sax ensemble.<BR/><BR/>The college we saw in the summer had no music program at all. The college we saw yesterday has a variety of them!!!<BR/><BR/>As far as the hurt goes, I'm doing fine. It all boiled down to someone's oversight.Dot Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987504223521552430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294080519603228096.post-47158840050451565212008-12-09T00:58:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:58:00.000-05:00What instrument does your daughter play?

I played the soprano/alto/tenor sax & the clarinet.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about getting hurt. Whether intentional or not, it effects me deeply. Hurt is very closely related to Trust for me, and it's very hard for me to get over it.TheOneAndOnlyNorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150436323735270080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294080519603228096.post-68246397932416197332008-12-09T00:27:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:27:00.000-05:00Glad you had such a good time with the kids checki...Glad you had such a good time with the kids checking out the colleges.<BR/>I remember when Ayleen was a Jr. and we toured a lot of schools in the middle Atlantic states on up to Boston MA.<BR/>She loved a couple of them and some she thought would be really great were just not for her at all.<BR/>In the end she was accepted with a full ride for tuition (not housing) at schools in Minn. New Hampshire and Here in Southern Calif. .<BR/>She spent 4 years at Chapman in Orange CA , lived on campus 1 year and commuted the other three.<BR/>She decided that snow and ice were just not for her and Chapman had all the classes she ever needed or wanted.<BR/>Touring schools in person makes a world of difference.<BR/>Have fun with the cookie decorating!uberrhundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515310279646269623noreply@blogger.com
