She's home.......

and there's a belly button ring......

If that's the only remnant of college life, I have to be thankful.

So, on the way home from Collegland,to break up the trip, we stopped off for a little shopping.
That's where Toni found some adorable bikinis.
That's how I learned about the belly button ring.

Right there in the dressing room....
As a few other mothers heard the exchange.
"Okay, mom, I have to tell you something" she said, hiding her bikini clad body with the door.
As the dressing room fell silent.....
"I got my belly button pierced..."
I could feel the collective moment of breath-holding....as the other mothers waited for my response.

Yes, she's home.
Her and her pink belly button ring.....
My nest is empty no more.

Summer vacation has arrived in Judiland.
Stay tuned.....
