As of today, Larry and I have been parents for 38 years. When I was 38, we had moved from East Lansing to Parkesburg to Mount Joy. I was on the school board at the local Mennonite school. I was taking classes and working towards a degree at Elizabethtown College as a nontraditional student, and had had enough adversity to make my studies in religion and philosophy deeply meaningful.
Fran, at 38, is still my kid! Although as a full time ER physician, married 16 years, mother of 3, she probably sees herself a bit differently. And in this whole winery endeavor, I do find myself deferring to her and Sarah much of the time. That's probably more about interest and gifting than maturity. Or not. They also have lots of ideas and way more creative energy than I seem to have.
My how our perspective changes with the decades!
