My Graduate

I'm Home! Ok, I've been home for a week and a half now, but I have real reasons for taking so long to post, I promise. First is doctors appointments, as usual, and second, I was a total dunder head and forgot to pay the phone/internet bill before I left town. I was out of service until last Tuesday. I always think it's funny that it's just a flip of a switch to turn you off, but takes several days restore. Oh well, que sera sera.

My bus trip down to Georgia was long and cramped, but blessedly uneventful. I had a great visit with Ian, I just wish it hadn't been so short and that I hadn't been so tired. We made the most of our time, playing cards, and goofing off together. There was some serious mother/son talking going on too, and we both got a lesson in ordering wisely from take-out. The graduation ceremony was nice, not too long, not too short, and surprisingly light (as in not stuffy and pompous LOL). The whole audience got a chuckle when the choir started singing Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. It sure was nice of them to choose a song us old timers would recognize. After the ceremony we had a lovely family lunch with his dad, step-mother, and her sister. Then we went shopping, talked about the future, goofed off some more, and played poker. The morning, and my bus, came all to quickly, and I was back on my way. The trip home was a nightmare and I arrived home sore, hardly able to walk, and with bruises on my bum, but I won't let that spoil my memories.
