The grand kids keep graduating! , , ,and in a few years the great grand kids will be wearing the gown!
Esther and I made the trip to Jana and Paul's place to celebrate Payton's High School Graduation! It was a packed theater downtown and we were separated from Jana's and on different floors. When it was all over we decided to just wait - the crowd flooded the aisles and lobby - there was no place to go! Eventually, Brady and Derrick found us. Lots of photos and excitement.
Early the next morning, Jana drove us to Portland where we connected with Lori, Amanda, Adam and Dan's
(Jaime and Sheila) We had lunch together and headed for the Rose Garden Arena where Adam along with 2500 other students would graduate at 2 pm! We decided to park the van in a downtown garage and ride the tram to the Garden. We didn't have to worry about traffic and parking! It worked out well and we experienced the longest graduation in history!!! It started 45 minutes late and by the time we had heard all 2500 names read, we had sat on hard chairs for 6 long hours! What we do for our kids and grand kids and
on and on it goes! But the rewards are great! Family togetherness adds strength to each individual! We see the results of those who go thru life alone! We join our hands to all of you with gratitude and appreciation!
