Not My Garden on Tuesday

This is clearly not my yard.

 But I'm sure you know where we were last night.

It's the night when, as one of the student speakers said, everyone gets dressed up to wear a poncho, and the girls work hard at getting their hair just right, so they can put a square hat decorated with a cat toy on their heads.

It's a bittersweet event,

pride mingled with tears, as our second to youngest gets one step closer to embarking upon that wonderful journey called adulthood,

while our boy exudes joy.

(I don't think this guy was invited.  He just hopped in to join the party, and evidently have a late lunch.)

It was a great day.  We are proud of Ryan, our National Merit Commended Scholar (who got an 800 on his math SAT).

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
