Friday was one of the first nice days of the year. It was especially nice because it was graduation day for Ryan and Sarah. Don't they look sharp and happy? You should have read Ryan's bio in the Commencement book. Impressive!


Then you can see the group assembled to cheer them on, including the Anderson's, and the Morrisons, and Ryan's Grandfather Cannon.


Can't you see the happy intelligent educated look on Sarah's face. She was even happier to learn she had comfortably passed her former nemesis, the Math class!


No graduation event can be celebrated without the traditional trip to Oasis. Tales were told of the famous "Hi, Mom, this is the girl I've been telling you about. We're off to Mexico for a week" conversation.




Not letting up for a minute, here they are off to find a place to live in New Bedford the next day, hours after submitting the last assignment.


Sarah has already sent back this shot of the harbor in their new home town.

Rachel's half marathon

Having trained very little, our dear Rachel did a half marathon Saturday. Melanie and I didn't even get up as early as she did, let alone run 13.1 miles before 10:00 A.M. We did, nevertheless, get to see he after the race finished, at the Gateway Center.



Congrats to our courageous Rachel!

April Surprise on Sunday morning
