Graduation day!

Thursday, May 29 2014 was Ryan Stewart's graduation from Fallbrook High School.  Ryan is the first of the two grandsons to graduate and this was a day Nan did not want to miss.  In fact, this was the reason the surgery is June 3 instead of last week!

The principal apparently told the parents that the ceremony starts at 6pm sharp and will be done by 6:57.  I was an unbeliever...but low and behold, they finished at 6:56pm.  Wow...and whew... especially since we'd already been there for nearly two hours so we could get seats that lined up with his!  It was thankfully a relatively cool day with a comfortable breeze, at least as the weather goes down here.  The only challenge was sitting on the "home" side of the stadium ...facing the sun for almost 3 hours...hence the family in shades! :)

We we all pretty proud of him...and next year, he'll be a Ute as he is heading to University of Utah.

Before the graduation festivities, there were hi-larious feasting festivities at Margaret's house.  No visual documentation is yet available, but video will be coming!  Let's just say that Margaret thought it might be fun to try to do one of those skits with human hands and arms feeding dogs...like the one's you've seen on the interwebs where the mellow dogs sit and calmly eat what the hands feed.  Yeah, well...if you've ever met Margaret's dogs, calm and mellow would not be the first adjectives to describe them!  Mom played Bo and Margaret played Veya, and almost lost a finger in the making! (Not really, but she may still have a small chomp bruise)  Quite funny in a whole different sort of way...we're still chuckling...hope to show it to you soon!
