4 dinner plates

 

 

It's suppertime and I grab 4 plates.  It causes me to pause for just a second.  Not 5 plates.  4.  It was 5 over the summer and now we are back to 4.  It shouldn't feel unusual.  This is Ben's 2nd year at NDSU and I should be used to 4 plates by now.  But I'm not. 

And then I get a call from Isaac. . . my baby.  He is going to stay at school after football practice and watch the volleyball game.  What?  Why?  I'm confused for a few seconds.  And then I think, "of course you are".

Strange days.  Not bad, just different.  To quote Lord of the Rings, "How did it come to this?".  :) That's exactly what when through my mind. . . funny.
