After a mad rush all morning long with me in Denver and Lori having a crazy day at work, we made it to graduation by 2:30. We parked and walked down to the outdoor theater to take our seats. On the way, and all day, it had been raining and snowing. As soon as we made it in, I realized I needed to go back to the car to get Lori a winter down coat. So off I went. Lucky I did as it was freezing. While we were cold, that was nothing compared to all the kids. Girls in short fancy dresses and heels and the boys in coats and ties. The ceremony was 2 hours long and kids were visually shivering. One nice tradition of our school is that when a senior gets their diploma, the Director of the School calls their name and then their entire family comes up on stage, takes the diploma from the Director, and presents it to their child. This made for some touching moments but made the whole thing last alot longer.
Finally at 5 pm we were through. We rushed home so Jagger could change (Ty was in Denver at Ben’s and still is) and then I drove him and two of his friends to a classmate’s house who was hosting a party for the entire 8th grade. Lori and I then watched some tv trying to stay awake until 10 when we went to pick him up.
Everyone is sleeping now and I need to shower and hit the road to Denver for some errands and to pick up Ty. We might go camping tomorrow if we can get it together, we’ll see. As you know the next week, or actually from Tuesday through June 10th, it’s crazy for us. Time to run, have a good weekend, no politics today. Let’s just pretend somebody like Ronald Reagan is still in office. Back then our President never did anything remotely embarrassing or inappropriate. My how things have changed. Oh oh, I’m drifting, better run! God Bless
