Pomp and Circumstance


David's son, Tony, graduated from high school in Nebraska on Sunday.  Woo hoo...it was a bit of a long road the past couple years, but he did it.  He now plans to go on to college and major in horticulture and golf course maintenance.  If anyone can do it, he can.  We have been lucky through the years to have a good blended family relationship - I know we're lucky because I've seen other families that nothing ever seems to work out and everyone is in turmoil.  Tony has been in my life since he was 5 (which seems like only yesterday) and he started calling me "mom" the day after David and I were married (Tony was his best man at age 7).  I don't know what the future is going to bring, but I am so thankful to have had these years watching Tony grow into such a great young man.

Wow! Congratulations. What an accomplishment. Sometimes like first birthddays, graduations are more for the parens. You made it.

It's amazing how fast time flies. I'm proud of Tony and wish him all the best. It seems like just yesterday when he was enrolling at Adventure Camp over at Crestview.

School is finally out here - YEAH! I'm not done for a few weeks, but I'm really looking forward to summer. Hope you have a great one too.
