Current: Summer

Daughter has begun her annual campaign, trying to convince me to let her go back to Tiny Village to visit.  She insists she can go on her own, and doesn't need me.  I told her to start saving money.  Apparently she's going to be given an opportunity to do some work at her program that will allow her to earn additional money.  I'm glad she's getting the opportunity, though it does have the potential to complicate things.  I've always been able to tell her she had to save a certain amount of money to do something, confident that she wouldn't be able to hold onto it that long.  I'll be in trouble if she actually learns to start saving money....
