Lately, our house has gone errily quiet, and my wife has walking around like a lost person with no direction.

Our youngest daughter, you see, has gone on a Scout Jamboree (adventure camp) for a few weeks.
It seems there’s always something happening when our busy daughter is around, so now the atmosphere at home has gone from a never ending busy vibe to a library with no customers vibe.

It’s a bit of a precurser for how 2026 is going to play out for us, because, she is starting University in a far away town.

It looks like we are getting a taste of what it’s like to be empty nesters.
