Summer a season of change on the farm

Consolidating our two households was made easier by another milestone move. We moved my daughter, Kate, who is a junior at Western Washington University in Bellingham, into her first apartment two weeks ago. Fortunately, it was not furnished. We had no problem filling it wall-to-wall with our duplicate belongings, especially in the kitchen. How many other college students start off life in their first apartment with a salad spinner, a whisk and a full set of cookware?

Her apartment on Indian Street right below the campus is just a couple of hundred feet from an apartment I lived in when I arrived at Western 41 years ago.
