And Speaking Of High School Graduations ...

Live from Tucson ...

I got in around 4:45 pm yesterday, in time to get to Rhys's graduation from Catalina Foothills High School. The ceremony was held on their football field at 7:30 pm. Quite the graduating class (I counted 444 names on the program).Rhys was about 53rd on the list of kids announced, and we (Liz, me, Robin, Bert and Margie) all gave him a hearty cheer when his name was called. After the ceremony, we got to see him for a few minutes before he headed into "Grad Night" where they have a "lockdown" party for all the graduates in their gym (much like a prom, but here it's more of a big deal). He was on cloud nine, as you can well imagine! I don't think I've seen him with a bigger smile!I'm extremely proud of him and his accomplishment. He's a smart kid with a bright future in whatever he chooses to do. I wish Janice could have been here ... she's "holding down the fort" and continuing the packing efforts at home, while slaving away at her work.

Anyway, just a quick post here now, and will have more later.
