The Elder Pea is officially graduated from high school! The class speakers were good, but the school superintendent sounded like she was on a book tour. The band played well, despite sitting in the hot sun with all those nice shiny metal instruments. All in all it was a fine graduation. Congratulations, EP!It was an oppressively hot day, over 90F, but I only saw one poor elderly woman have to be taken to the hospital. Someone thought ahead and had plenty of cold water and ice available, which was a godsend to most of us. I slathered myself with sunscreen and wore a wide brim hat, so I ended up fine, but poor Damcat got very pink. Queenee moved from the metal bleachers to a seat in a tent where she could stay cool and get her foot elevated and iced. PopPop and I agreed that standing anywhere was better than sitting on those bleachers, so we stayed on our feet through most of the ceremony.
In sporting news, the Red Sox beat Seattle 11-3, and Big Brown lost the Belmont to 38-1 Da'Tara. He didn't seem to be injured, just pooped, and rather than see the horse overextend himself, Kent Desormeaux eased off the throttle and they finished last.
Awesome job Wabbit! Thanks for everything!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the photos you folks took, not to mention how the cruise went last night!
ReplyDeleteI wish the video camera had worked properly. I took it apart this morning to find the tape all wound around one of the pins, so that tape is shot. That was the tape with Roger on it and everything up to the coyote from last week, so I'm glad I had taken everything off before yesterday! Nothing lost, though nothing gained yesterday, unfortunately.
