I'm exhausted...

Just got home from celebrating my daughter's Sweet 16 party at the Crest Hollow Country club in Woodbury NY. A great time was had by all, and all the teens behaved.

Seems like only yesterday when I held her in my arms and I rocked her to sleep. Life has flown by so fast it's scary! Before I know it I'll be planning her wedding......

Don't worry about her growing up, the cycle gets repeated with grandchildren.

That is, unless you've involked the "locked in closet 'til you're 30" threat.. LOL

Very nice...My daughter had her sweet 16 party a year ago this month and I remember standing there and thinking the same thing.

We did. No car. She was given a choice of a party, cruise to Europe or a car. She chose the party like most 16 year olds would do. Lol

Lol! Yeah, we live in a town on LI. At her age I would have chosen a car too. But she hasn't even taken her permit test yet. Go figure....

Thank God No...both the kids were in it..The insurance company came out and totaled the jeep....doesn't look that bad does it?...Her tire hit the side of the road....the 4ft deep culvert collapsed sucking the jeep in and she over steered to get out....lost it over steered several more times until it flipped.......she had just left the drive and was headed to school....under 20mph

Nice! Lots of great memories.

Grow a lot, sorry about your experience! I'm glad they were okay.

Our daughter got her license in November and I am always relieved when I see her safely coming down the drive way.

[growalot]

Thanks MH....

God Blessed us all that morning on many fronts....It happened pretty much at home...I was out turkey hunting and heard the crash....no one was hurt and lots of driving lessons learned at one time...But siblings being siblings...It brought the kids together in a way I don't believe any thing else could have...and they are still close to this day.

 

She calls me nearly every evening on her drive home (hands free)...Ithaca to Corning ...I get to live through....her nearly getting rear ended...hit head on...turkies in the wind shield ....deer over the hood ......she drives a Honda and at 55 had the vehicle in front of her looses a drive shaft and it hit the road bounced and she ran over it...all the winter accidents she drives by...ect.ect....LOL the grey hair keep coming...but  30yrs old she needs Mom sitting by her...as it were... on that rather dangerous drive.
