Today is my oldest grandchild's 22nd birthday. Five of his nearest and dearest gathered with him to celebrate with a delicious lunch at Casa's. One of those in attendance was his girlfriend, a definite keeper. In conversation with both of them, it was revealed that they are making preliminary wedding plans, although, as she pointed out, they aren't officially engaged yet. Not only are they thinking about marriage, it also came out that they are thinking about buying a house, and, as his dad so helpfully pointed out, he will probably need a new car in a year or so. My grandson did recently receive a promotion and wage increase at work, so things aren't as dire as they might seem, but he did get sort of a glazed look as he contemplated what could be coming in his future. I think he's getting his first real taste of adulting. It happens to us all.
