THE GRADUATIONS

Tuesday has arrived. It is after five and just finally was able to get on the computer. It has a mind of its own this morning, but finally here I am. I'll hope for the best.

We have had grade school graduations, Amber, Darian and Brett. They are growing up at such alarming speed. It seems just yesterday they were babies. Now all getting ready to start a new chapter in their young life's. It seems that is what our life's are made up of, chapters. First chapter a baby, then next a toddler. Then kids as these three are. Then its teenagers, then the long awaited twenties. Before you know it the thirty chapter is here. Then we start the forties chapter and its all down hill from there. Then you near the end of the book. Good grief I think that may be where I am at. Because when you get to the final chapters, you want a rewrite and as of yet I found the Editor is turning a deaf ear.

But it is exciting, getting close to being a teen, getting out of elementary, sliding into the future. I think they call it Middle school now, Then high School instead of Junior High, then High School But there are so many changes these days I can't keep count. Amber told me on the phone she goes to another school before she goes to Middle school. So maybe Duneweg does things different. But no matter what school they are moving too, they are growing up. Can this be possible, I ask myself. Can these great-grands be getting this old. Whoa is me. I have a grandson a few months older than my Jer, so I guess it is possible.

There are days I still think I should be in grade school with Mr. Barlow the principle. But alas that is not the way it is. So to Amber, Darian and Brett, congratulations on your graduations. We are all proud of you. As Kiefer use to say, Woohoo. Big things lie ahead. Go, kids, Go.
