Happy Birthday Shawn (good name) . . .
Mrs J . . . we have a bit in common. I have 3 sons . . . 24, 20 and 17. Number 3 is in his last year at school. It's hard seeing them leave the family home . . . and the time . . . I don't know where it went.
The plus side . . . I get a much better nights sleep in the peace and quiet, only have 2 laundry washes per day instead of 4, and don't have to vacuum every day.

Happy B-Day Shawn Jr.!!!
I hope you don't get too "grown up" to still attend the occasional Lake Tahoe Apostafest.
All the best to you with your plans.

p.s. to Mrs. Jones: I always laugh/cringe when I read a newspaper article that says "An 18 year old man....." did this or that. The arbitrary nature of one day being a boy and the next day being a man always seemed pretty unnatural to me. And it is. It's just a legal thing. Keep on being a great mom and the new "man" in the house will turn out fine. Cheers.

When my now 35 year old daughter turned 18 she went on this long rant about how she was an adult now, she could do what she wanted, come and go as she pleased, be her own self yadda yadda yadda. The talk came to an abrupt halt when I pointed out that if the police called I was no longer legally obligated to come get her. On the plus side, she's now working on a Master's degree in psychology.
AK-Jeff, I have a seven year old grandaughter at home under similar circumstances although her father (my oldest) is working on getting his act together and never did have the legal issues (her mother seems uninterested in having a child). We would not trade the granddaugther for anything, although we notice the fact that we were younger the last time we did this.

Oh, Jr says he coming to Tahoe.
Thanks for the best wishes everyone. Raising kids is the hardest job I've ever had. Looking at my kids, I don't regret a day of it.

Shawn Jones is a nice name...if he were to become famous, he wouldn't have to change it .
I have two Sons who are over 18. You'll enjoy it when he comes to see you also as a friend, especially after it dawns on him how much you did for him and how much you love him.
