Congratulations, graduate!
We left our beloved porch Sunday and Monday to see my
favorite little sister graduate from Berea College.
Congratulations, Maggie!
I
call the photo above "Three Mothers". We were waiting for the
first appearance of our graduate....
Here she comes!
The photo below depicts
Mom's first sighting.
Walking across the
stage....
Her rooters below.
Then cookies and punch
in the quadrangle.
My favorite grand-nephew
seemed more interested in the brownies than in the dry-roasted cicadas I brought just for him.
What are kids coming to these days?
We're so proud of you,
Maggie!

CONGRATULATIONS MAGGIE Looks like even the weather was befitting your family celebration of your awesome achievement!
So sweet to see all of your smiling faces, and sad not to have been there myself. Congratulations Maggie! Super proud of you, and can't wait to see you in a couple of months. Thanks for posting these great shots Anna.
xoxox, Jay
Maggie --- We were thrilled to be there and share the big day!
Jayne --- Maybe the weather is why everyone was so photogenic.
Jay --- We missed you, and I was thinking of you when I put together the photos for this post. We're looking forward to a family gathering rerun with you at the center in August.
. . . and so sorry to miss such an important date. Well, I did what I had to do here and did it well; I only wish the dates had lined up differently. It looks like Sango and I missed out on good times. Thank you Anna, Mark and Joey for capturing these moments. The pictures are very good.
Congratulations Maggie!
