Graduation weekend

Davids decked out in an impromptu mortar board





The ONLY shot I have of the graduate. It will be clear later why..


Angela is JUST coming in the door. The gal behind her was tall :)


She's to the right of the screen!


There she goes!!


Just coming on the stage!!


And it's official!


This is the reality of where we were sitting.


And THIS is why there are no pictures after the event. No sooner than we figured out where she was the lights were turned OUT at the fairgrounds. Yeah, nice, really nice. Sigh. Oh, well, we will have pictures taken of the girls after the fact.

THIS is what happens when my phone is left unattended!








And a nice dinner with the folks followed by ice-cream cake :) apparent,y reading is good. It was frozen solid! How many people does it take to cut a cake?








Apparently three 😳


Everyone eagerly awaiting cake!!


We fit EVERYTHING we could celebrate over the last three weeks and future week into one cake.


Still snuggling up to her sister 😜

Summer flowers

Early morning gardening. Put my three new plants in the ground finally. Blanket flower is the daisy looking one. The small blue flower is lithodoro (?) pretty blue however :). My lemon is potted and on the deck. My purple iris s in bloom along with the butterfly bush! I even transplanted a few wandering day lillies that were starting to get out of the beds they're planted in.












Even the mail box lilies are blooming

Graduation day two

3000 students!!


Where is Liz?


We used the trash can as reference :)


See that blonde hair just below the trash can? About two seats in? Yep, that's her!


Selfie!





And more!


Look she's right next to the podium!


And in the big screen! Go Lizzie!











Proud graduate! Gotta love her!

Liz - graduation

Day one. Cinco de Mayo
Of 3,37X students only 78 were Honors graduates. Lizzie was one of those 78!

Smartie pants!





Next in line!


Dr. Steven Engel, Director, presenting Liz with her Honors metal.

The whole gang. (Angela was late arriving and missed the program!)


Dr. Francis Desiderio, Associate Director

Poor Angela missed the event due to getting out of school late. She has to drive out in her own after we got here. Once she arrived we headed out t dinner - her choice.

Where did she choose?


Ok so it really is rated the best





Still no proof that Angie was here as she ditched the photo, but really. She's here too ;)


Great food and a great night. Left Angela with Liz and Sally and Bitch and I headed to the hotel for the night!!

Tomorrow will be an early one with a 9am start!!! Pray for no rain as it's outside!!
