Last Thursday marks a historical event.
It is not only that Amy finished her last day of elementary school, but there will never be anyone in our family going to elementary school ever again!
I’ve already written about my feelings of leaving Oswalt Elementary School. Now it is final.
Walnut High School graduation commencement was held June 8, 2006. Even though Elliot already finished a year of college, he came back to walk with his class.
I finished high school early as Elliot did, but I did not bother to go back for the commencement. I do not regret it because I didn’t have many friends, nor any close friends those days.
We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed;we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;
we are persecuted, but not abandoned;
we are knocked down, but not destroyed,
always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.
Did you know today is Donut Day?
My manager went to his usual donut shop to buy a dozen for the office, and they were completely sold out at 9am. He was told it was Donut Day.
Some say it’s National Donut Day. The first Friday of June is this designated day of the donut. Walk into any Krispy Kreme and they will give you a FREE donut of your choice.
Weather.com registered the temperature as over 90F today in Walnut, California. It’s not even the first day of summer yet. The calendar says the official first day of summer is June 21st.
Elliot and Amy went swimming in the pool. Don’t you hate that initial shock of cold water? Six or seven years ago, a…
This was taken sometime last year when we had new windows installed. The ladder was conveniently next to the patio, and a piece of plywood was conveniently on the patio so that the workmen can stand there to install the window. So why not go up there and see life from a different perspective? I convinced Amy to go up there with me. We got a nice view of our neighbors yard, and peered into Elliot’s room there. We saw the same things, but from a different perspective.
I would post pictures of Audrey all dressed up for her first prom, but I don’t want to embarrass her! Her friends came to do her make-up, hair-do, finger and toe nails, and even shaped her eye brows. She got a royal treatment, and looked like a princess. The preparations were probably as much a part of, if not more than, the prom itself! Oh to be young again…
An article in the LIFE Weekend Magazine says there are signs that couples are having more than the current average of 2.09 children. The National Center for Health Statistics’ data has shown a jump in the number of births to mothers of two or more – 28% of all births in 2003, the year of its most recent survey, an increase of almost 4% since 1996 and 12% since 1984.
Amy was listening to some music on Elliot’s Ipod nano. It doesn’t have an obvious on/off button. “How do you turn it off?” Amy asked. I don’t know. We googled it and found out you hold down the pause button.
Gosh, how are you suppose to know these things? I suppose you can read the…
