Daniel has now graduated . . .

. . . but our relationships shouldn't change much.








"Once a cardinal, always a cardinal," but Glen says that college graduates don't go to high school reunions.




The graduation photo was taken just a few hours before I got this! (See previous post.)




I'm glad it's over!



By the way, Grandma and Grandpa Wilson, Aunt Lisa, and Uncle Brad, Aunt Becky, and MacKenzie (8-1/2 years old) were at Grandma Pete's house too.

Daniel Wilson is graduating right now

Cindi and I dashed down to Whittier High School to watch the graduates walk from the gym to the Vic Lopez Auditorium for graduation. They are in there as I type this, hopefully getting the proper dosage of lackluster speechifying.

Congratulations Daniel! See you at Grandma Pete's in a couple of hours.

[Hmm, a post about Daniel that doesn't include bicycles--could this be a first?]

34 Years Ago...

Summer school student...1975...Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois. Guess who? Crazy hair but so stylish for the day. Ha!

Another Museum

Kyle and I watched the Red Sox sweep the Yankees. Great fun at Fenway. Then New York was easy until it "rained again"..... Kyle was faced with the T-Rex at the Museum of Natural History. Doesn't he look scared?

Kyle in DC

We are in the Museum of Natural History. Great Place.

There is nothing like a bicycling fun ride . . .

. . . that starts at 5 a. m.



Rob went on the 22 mile ride with Ken and I (pictured below) on May 25th 2009, my 53rd birthday.

SoCal Family Photos

Here are some photos from Mother's Day outing to Olive Garden, early in May.

Looks like it was a happy birfday!!!

Firstfruits

Our new peach tree has started to give the first peaches of its life. Of course the tree is still small, and the peaches in a few years from now should be improved. Still higher quality fruit than Stator Bros. Way better! I'll be looking forward to peach jam!

We also have a new apricot tree, but it hasn't done anything but give leaves yet.

Need a shed?

This month in Architecture we built sheds. The process was the same as the bridge-making process, except we drew the plans on the computer instead of with a pencil. Materials needed: flat cardboard, wax paper, plans, sticks of balsa wood, razor blades, tape, and glue. Unlike the bridges, however, we didn't have to break the sheds.

In this picture, you can see the window in the back.

I suppose I'll get a comment later from Timothy on how this is or is not up to code.

Mother's Day

I guess there are modes of transportation in Whittier that I don't usually think of using

A guy and a girl rode up while I was having coffee at Mimo's Cafe, parked their horses at these trees and ordered food. The guy just walked right in wearing his spurs. Who would have guessed.

If gas it too expensive, think about this. I don't know what insurance would cost.
