Tailgating Lyn's Graduation

A good time was had by all, or at least that is what we were told. We had a nice little group, Grandmother, Papa, Martha, Burkett, Teresa, Grandpa R., Ronnie, Susan, Jonathan, Aaron, Scott, me, Will Fly (yes, that is his real name,) who is Aaron and Lyn's friend, and of course the honoree, to enjoy burgers and smoked bologna. We had a blue and orange theme going with chips and m&m's...Aaron and Lyn even made blue and orange shortbread for the occasion. My help ruined the look, but they were still yummy. Lyn and Aaron did almost all the food prep work, I just had to do the hunter/gatherer thing and then look hostess-y later.

Graduation was long of course. Awards of every description, 8 different speakers, plus over 300 graduates. Afterwards, we all met in the parking lot again for watermelon while the crowds thinned out and the lights in the lot were finally turned off. None of our party had to wait in line though, and even the last of us were out of the lot by 10:15.

We certainly missed all who couldn't be there, and Lyn appreciated her phone call just before we left home. That was sweet. You were all thought of, missed and talked about...now don't you wish you knew?

Love to all.
