Adventures in Tampa

 

Dolls Project

 I started to go through Mom's doll collection and figure out what to do with everything.  I got as far as taking staged pictures of all of the dolls and taking a first shot at identifying and possibly pricing and/or finding new homes for them.  There is still much left to do.  Here are some of the dolls.

The Dorm Room

 

Tampa August 2021

And we drop him off to go get his keys...I'm not gonna lie, there were tears shed

He's officially a college student, dorm room keys and all!!  Look at that smile!!

The dorm was exactly as you would expect...crazy waits for elevator, lots of nervous parents and kids, lots of boxes, plenty of just plain "stuff", overfull dumpsters, frazzled RAs...yup, that was the day.

I adventured to Sand Key Park one morning...no one else from my crew was interested; no one else from Florida was even there-I had the place to myself.

 

Fall 2021: Daniel Leaves for College

Its Thursday night and we leave Saturday...this is all that is packed (ie, nothing).

Goodbye Holden!  Next time we see you, you will both be college kids!!

Jason and Daniel went to one last Mystic Bingo before Daniel left for school...and I tagged along.

Progress was made...lots of stuff to put into the minivan to drive down to Florida!!

And we are off!  College Kid #1, here we come!!

Arrived!  USF campus the night before move-in day...so exciting!!!

 

Misc

Of the seeming millions of medicinal options to "inherit" from my mom, the Glads took the Rolaids.  They came in handy.  :  )

Jason and Josh playing some golf Summer 2021

 Some of us inherited my mom's password to her streaming service...and we just pass it around between all of us...good times.
