Second I would love a large part of my house to look like that about now as that would mean we were a lot further along than we are right now. It will be worth it when you are finished.

and very nice, too. Democrats or at least left-leaners. Kind of coincidentally, one of the guys that came in to do the demo on the first day used to date my oldest daughter back when they were in high school, and his aunt, who is upstairs at this very moment slapping on joint compound, used to live across the street. When I told my daughter, she said, "Oh, you mean the boy I was dating when I first got birth control pills?" The back story on that is one day I came home from work when she was about 16, and she's like, "Mom, Mom, you're going to be so proud of me. I went down to the public health office and got a birth control prescription all by myself." I was like, "Uh....well, I'm glad you're being responsible," but in my mind I was thinking, "Oh, no, my little girl is having sex." One of those times when you don't know quite how to respond.

So anyway, I didn't recognize him now 24 years later, but he was a really sweet kid, and he's grown into a very nice, hard-working man, so everything worked out fine.

and love the story. Guess Anchorage is more like a small town than it appears in photos.
Really hard on the parent no matter how enlightened when you realize your baby is no longer a baby. Boy or girl though it is a bit easier to be the mom of a boy. Terry handled his daughter and bc pills really well in front of her but then cried like a baby all over me later. She didn't go get them alone as her dad had me take her since she did not want her mother to know. That is when I learned how good the local health dept. safe sex talk was. Soon as I thought my son was old enough I dragged him up there so the nurse could give him the safe sex talk. I think he was 12, I wasn't taking chances.
