Two daughters in college...

We finally have hot, sticky summer weather and instead of turning on the air conditioning at home and staying inside we're in Denver walking around Johnson & Wales University with Amy for summer orientation. But this is actually a good thing. She's so excited about being here! Today she took a capstone class called "making homemade pasta" and she said it was a blast. And she and her roommate, Emily, were happy to find out their room on campus for the school year will be on the courtyard side of the dorm instead of the noisy street side. After lunch Brian and I picked Laura up in Golden and brought her back to stay with us at the Hilton. She'll get a break from the non-air conditioned dorm, and we get the joy of having her to ourselves for a night. We showed her Amy's campus for the first time. (The girls have been scheming for awhile on how to get to each other's campuses in the fall.) Laura & Ian bribed Amy..."if we buy the ingredients, will you come and cook for us and for Ian's roommates? We'll even do the dishes!" Our culinary daughter is only too happy about the arrangement. And it's practically a straight shot thru Denver on I-70 from one campus to another. If only either of them had a car...!
