Brillie and Lili. All the girls wear white dresses and carry red roses, guys wear black pants and white dinner jackets with red rose in lapel. 1600 students graduated on Saturday in 2 different ceremonies. Luckily, Lili's was first (4 hours still) and it wasn't steamy!! The graduation is held in the cistern of the school, oldest in state and one of the oldest on the east coast!! Right up there with Harvard in age, and just as pretty.
Us, I guess I am that short!! Pretty azaleas still in bloom
Walking across stage. Yeah, Lili!!
The actual President's office in the cistern where they set up the stage. Anthony's company just finished restoring all the windows and columns to this building. He mainly restores old windows in churches with stained glass!
Then it was from our finery into sweats, and move that girl back home. The work crew bailed, so it was just Ken, me, Lili and Anthony and one big u-haul truck. We each did about 12 trips up stairs loading down stairs into the truck. Left Charleston for Lexington about 5:00 pm, got essentials unloaded, tv, bed, clothes and toiletries and anything small. The rest was done by another work crew yesterday. Ken and I are tired and sore!! Feel like I did lunges all day!! WE were home and in bed by 9:30 p.m.!! Needless to say we postponed Mother's day until next week. But I did get a box of chocolates from Baby Bella!! (mysteriously the writing on the tag looked just like Ken's)
Today, it's a funeral for a guy that drank himself to death at an early age leaving a wife and a 10 year old daughter, very, very sad!
