Daughter Braunwynn returned to Ontario last night after a great visit.
Her super-sweet 16 is less than two weeks away, so during lunch on Sunday with Amy and Sorenne and Bob, we asked what she might be studying at university (not a fair question cause I still dont know what I want to do when I grow up).
She mentioned science, psychology, maybe journalism she liked writing.
Amy and I sorta jumped, saying that if she wanted to write, then write, and that maybe J-school wasnt the best place to learn writing.
