My baby daughter turned 21 yesterday. I was happy she wanted to spend the day with me...sort of. We went boating from 10am to 3pm while she and 5 girlfriends drank mimosas, danced, tubed, sang and cranked wretched pop music to nearly unbearable decibel levels. It was a blast (old guy term). Then they decided they wanted to go to a cubs game so I drove them nearly 2 hours (again with loud music and singing) into Chicago traffic, booked them a room and drove home. It was a long day but I was grateful to have been a part of the celebration - they too were grateful and showered me with love. She's my youngest and I know these days are fleeting so I will continue to soak them up as often as I can. Thank God for foam ear plugs though, I must say. Their plan is to take the train home and I can't wait to hear about their experience in the big city when I pick them up this evening.
