End of an Era

For that last couple of decades this has been the view of our entryway on many Friday or Saturday nights: some enormous young men's shoes, some daintier girl shoes, and coats, keys, and purses on the ledge.

Hard to believe in a year and a half that will all be over. We will miss the nervous young men, reeking of cologne and trying hard to impress, the giggling girls, the loud games, the late nights, and the rummaging for food to fuel ferocious teen appetites.
