The Graduate

 Good morning friends,

In the midst of dealing with my mom's

latest health issue,

Bob and I attended my sweet granddaughters

graduation party last Sunday.

Congratulations to Mikayla.

Here she is in her cap and gown.

School colors are red and white.

At graduation the girls wore white,

while the boys wore red.

Am not sure why she decided to add

tint to her hair that day.

I told her she should have done it in 

a red though to match her school colors.

One of her baby pictures on the left.

One of the many awards she received.

Her school name was Chippewa Valley.

My daughter decided to add the college colors

she will be attending for the dessert table.

Michigan State University.

I took this picture way before all of

 the desserts were put out.

Mikayla reports to Michigan State University

on August 19th.

In other news,

My mom had an orthopedic appointment 

yesterday morning.

I met the courtesy van there.

The doctor told her that at a minimum 

her shoulder will take 3 months to heal.

It also may never heal.

Her only other option would be to do

shoulder replacement surgery.

However the doctor did not recommend

this at all because of my mom's age.

She still cannot walk.

In therapy they are just having her ride a bike

and having her stand with assistance

for a few minutes.

Am hoping she is able to walk...

otherwise us kids will have to make some decisions.

We finally got our new privacy fence yesterday too.

Will need to take a pic of it at some point.

Bob also celebrated his birthday yesterday.

We went out for dinner after I was done working. 

Ate outside at this restaurant along our river.

There was a nice breeze and it was not hot at all.

It was also very hazy all day 

due to the Canadian wildfires again.

Am hoping it goes away today.

Well off to work.

Hope everyone is enjoying

 their August weather thus far.

Post Graduation Blessings To all!
