It is a beautiful and quite warm day for Matt's swingout from high school. He looked so nice in his cap and gown. Wow my boy is all grown up. The whole assembly was very well done. Good speeches, especially the farewell. It was stellar. Then the Class of 2012 left the gym and we took tons of pictures that I have posted on the online photo album and Facebook. By 12 noon Matthew was on Bus #2 with his classmates for their mystery trip. Word came from a chaperone that there first stop was Michigan Adventures, an amusement park. I am sure that Matthew is having the time of his life! They have two wooden roller coasters. The weather is perfect too!
Mary was off to work by 11:45 am and probably won't be home until late tonight. Jeff is feeling better and took the Camry to walmart to get a new battery and a few groceries. Sarah's trip is coming to a close and soon she will be making the long plane trip home. She will need a lot of sleep.
So, it is quiet at home now. A preview of our lives this fall as empty nesters. I'm not ready...no choice. My kids are ready to be out on their own and they are soaring to new heights. I need to let them fly! I am so proud of them.
Our summer will be busy with work, activities and moving our kids to their respective colleges. Are family vacations a thing of the past? Mary will experience her trip to South Africa in July. In the meantime I can keep busy with VBS, planning a few parties for my graduates and getting a garage sale together.
I will update when I know anything new!
