She should be getting frequent flyer miles. She is a lawyer now, living and working in Washington D C but when she gets the chance, flies here and there, to visit with us, off to California for a wedding (not hers!) or to Texas to visit her sister. My family is scattered over the Country, a result of this lousy economy. You go where the work is. They are getting older and as the mirror attests, so am I.
My daughters are fearless, not afraid to tackle new things, not afraid to move away to where the action is, seemingly not afraid in this scary world at all. They are both hard workers and I am lucky that they choose to spend some of their money on a visit to me! It is expensive to fly across the country and that money could be going for a new car or an ipad or whatnot.
My youngest daughter likes to cook and maybe should have gone to a culinary school. Instead she went to Law School and wants to represent the down and out, woman's rights issues, immigration issues and all low paying legal forums. She is not a corporate attorney.Not a great way to get rich but doing what matters to her.
I am the lucky recipient of her cooking skills and she always raids the garden while here to see what is available. The tomatoes are coming on fast now and some peppers were ready so we had Chili Rellenoes, one of my all time favorite meals. On a different day I made her a Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich the meal of Kings, if they were so lucky! I always feel like a millionaire this time of year, the garden provides so much in abundance! I have lost the photos of these wonderful meals but when able I will post them.

You've had a wonderful time with your daughter, THAT!S what life is about! BJ
To see you sound so happy at your daughter's visit makes me feel so happy. Enjoy as much as you can.
How nice! It always feels good when your kids feel the need to come home, even if just for a while. Have a wonderful time.
Oh my...a BLT. How I love those! You are rich indeed, Jer.
Beautiful family and great meals. Life can't get much better.
