Well, it’s final. Eldest has graduated from high school, and now the hard part begins.
The ceremony went without a hitch, and was very well co-ordinated. The speeches weren’t very long. The kids— well, the graduates didn’t fidget much, and for the most part, the young children in the audience behaved quite well. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
And now what?
She has plans, and will be working this summer as a guide and work her way up to canopy and high wire challenge expert. I have no idea what that is, but she’s excited about it. And then she goes off, into the wild blue yonder. And I am left wondering what the heck just happened!!
One down, and two to go. I just hope they will be easier to handle than this one was. 😀

Indeed 😀

Ah. That would explain the sudden disturbance in my beer…it was as if millions of adults were cracking the bubbly at the same time, and caused ripples throughout the hopps/barley-continuum.
Yes. I should probably be punished for that. *sigh*

Punished? No way! That was poetic 😀

Just my luck….all of the pain and tears I’ve poured out on paper in the past, and my first Pulitzer comes from a snarky bit about beer. LOL
June 10th, 2013 at 8:51 AM
Pulitzer?? C’mon, it was better than that. I’m thinking Nobel 😀

My braincell rejects anything that may make me have something in common with Obummer. Although, that beautiful piece of prose would have been something that *I* earned, wasn’t just given out of pity…

HAHAHAHA!!!
Console yourself in the fact that the Peace Prize has nothing to do with the others 😉

Heh. “He didn’t earn that!”

Congrats to the grad. Now the really hard part begins.
Adulthood! :op
June 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM
Thanks, Jack! She went and got herself a job for the summer, too 😀
June 10th, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Congrats. Our youngest just graduated a couple weeks ago. She’ll be off to college in the fall. Now if I could just figure out a way to get our first-born out of the house…
June 10th, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Please lie to me and tell me they never come back??? 😉
June 10th, 2013 at 12:03 PM
Congrats to her!
June 10th, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Thanks, Laura!!

Thank you, Reiuxcat!

She’s off to join the Navy, and see the World?
June 10th, 2013 at 4:46 PM
Nope, the USAF, and maybe see some of the world 😀
June 10th, 2013 at 7:20 PM
Congrats to Eldest!
June 10th, 2013 at 8:02 PM
Thanks, Nicole! And you’ll be happy to know she is working at the caverns this summer, though not the bat ones 😉

Natural Bridge?
June 11th, 2013 at 1:25 PM
Yeppers 😀
June 11th, 2013 at 4:01 PM
That is too cool!
June 11th, 2013 at 10:10 AM
Congratulations! (Going to ask you for tips on keeping my sanity when it’s my turn next year for oldest to graduate.)
June 11th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
HAHAHA!! You assume I kept it in the first place 😀
June 11th, 2013 at 12:49 PM
Right next to the social security cards, right?
