Graduation Party

Well, we all over slept this morning. No one really wanted to get up. However, the time came when we all had to get up and get going. Amanda and Ben needed to return home. Ms. Barbara and I had a family graduation party to attend. It was hard saying goodbye to Amanda since we knew we would probably not see her again for a few years. So with hugs and tears we said – not goodbye – but we said till we meet again.

Ms. Barbara and I then headed off to

a family graduation party for

our grandson Mikey and his girlfriend, Brie. They both are graduating from High School this month. After graduation Mikey will be attending trade school and Brie will be attending a local four year college.

The party was given by

Mikey’s sister and our granddaughter, Tori and her husband Ryder.

What a spread they put out. We had pulled pork, brisket and chicken plus salads galore. It was all oh so good and I for one was once again a member of the clean plate club.

As an aside Tori and Ryder have three dogs.

This is Tank who you could fit in your pocket.

This is Piper who would also fit in your pocket.

Then there is Lincoln who you could probably put a saddle on and ride around the yard! Suffice to say he is big. He comes up to my waist and he is not yet full grown. I can only imagine what he will be like in another year.

All too soon it was time for us to say until we meet again and head for home. It will be at least a few years before we are able to see everyone again.

That was our day on The Road of Retirement. We had another wonderful day with family and friends. This is why we came here and we’re so glad for all the opportunities we’ve had to spend with our kids, grandkids, and even the granddogs. In addition we’ve met and spent time with a lot of wonderful people who were here in the park for just a day or two. We’ll leave here the end of this week with many beautiful and lasting memories. Life is good.
