Pink and Red Become Her!



We all met at 11 at the Olive Garden; the graduate, her parents, two brothers, and both sets of grandparents. With her long curly brown locks, and her big blue eyes, she looked stunning/radiant/happy in a fun simple pink dress.

She loves chicken fettucini, so that is what she ordered and she ate every bit of it.

She told a fun story of the principal not wanting the students to wear tennis shoes (even new ones), or decorate their hats. "This is NOT your day," he said, "this is MY school, MY day!" She spoke to him rationally, controlled her emotions, and eventually grudgingly won him over.

In the auditorium, the students filed in wearing red gowns with red hats, (many decorated on the top, and some wearing tennis shoes). But, it was THEIR day; they were well-behaved, fun-spirited, and excited.



Then it was home to open presents and take lots of pictures and bask in the glow of the event.....

Ah, these are the moments worth remembering and reliving.
