Graduation!

 It rained all day Friday. It is raining again today, Sunday. But it didn't rain on our parade, i.e. our graduation party.

Tom and I joined Isaac's other grandparents and we watched Isaac's high school graduation from Jill's house via live streaming. 


Jill, Irene, and Isaac's dad, Corey, were in the stadium. Corey is a professional photographer. He has big cameras. They got a better view, and we get to share it through his photos. 

The story goes that since Isaac's girlfriend had a special assignment, Tassel Turner, he got to join her at the front of the line, along with a best buddy, Conner.

Remember in school when "line leader" used to be a special privilege? 
Lead on, Line Leader. Here they come, all 350 of them. 

There was an attempt at social distancing, at least when they were sitting down. 


There were speeches.

Then there were diplomas. Four good friends up first.


Get the diploma, get the mask off, pose for the photo. 


Then there was hoopla

Then there was hugging.
Then there was homecoming.

Before the party guests arrived we posed for photos.

Mother and son.
And sister Irene.
Add Dad Corey. 
Parents and grandparents. 
The Reeder grandparents.
Mr. Whiskers wanted attention too. 
The Gibson/Moser grandparents. 


Good friends.

And then people came and there was a party.
There was lots of hugging, because...now we can!

There were lots of beautiful young people and relatives of all sorts. One way or another we were mostly all parents or grandparents or siblings or cousins of someone else there. Or special friends with kid connections. 






I didn't get everybody. I was busy having fun and visiting and hugging. 

It was a very good day. The sun shone upon us and made us glad. 

Congratulations to Isaac and his support staff. A major milestone has been reached and celebrated. Many more life adventures await.
