We're narrowing down the college search for my son; a high school senior. At first, I thought I might have him only an hour from home---why, I could pop down and meet him for lunch. He could come home any day he wanted to. But, as life goes, it looks as though the top choice is over three hours away. So I've started thinking about care packages: cookies, meatballs, mac and cheese, pots and pans and plates and the necessities to make the first time really away from home, more like home. I will likely take a look at your book. It sounds like just the right gift for the anxious mother to pass along.</description></item></channel></rss>
