Great title, Sue. Your empty nest musing about never really confronting it reminded me that I never really had an empty nest until Rob and I retired and moved away. By then, each of our kids (who worked with us) had two children of their own. We flew the coop rather than them. So I got my empty nest at 68, about time.
Wow. I didn't realize you worked with both of your kids... yes, there is also the option of families staying in proximity. Your VT retirement looks just right to me!
