I took this photo last week with my telephoto lens. It’s the prop plane that flies over our house several times a day. It’s from the well known sky diving facility in our town. After they’ve jumped, the pilot flies over our neighborhood as he starts to circle back to the “Ranch.” Sometimes we run into a jumper who landed in an unexpected place. Last year, Don gave one of those jumpers a ride back to the ranch.
I mowed about 2/3 of the front lawn yesterday and Don mowed the rest. It was in the eighties, so we were both quite tired when we finished. I also did some pruning.
The laptop arrived and I’ll spend the weekend figuring it out.
Today, I want to honor my nephew, Meredith’s second oldest child. Today, he is graduating from law school. Not only that, he will take the bar exam in July and the start his new job with the District Attorney’s office in August!
If you knew the very tough time he went through as a teenager, the struggles, the pain, you would feel the same way Don and I do: this is a triumph, a victory that seemed impossible a number of years ago. At that time, my sister’s fierce devotion to him, getting him the help he needed, never giving up, helped him through to the other side. And everything that has happened since has been a testament to his inner strength, to his commitment and goodness. I am so proud of him.
God bless you, dear one, as you begin this new journey. And God bless my sister, who is the best mother there could ever be.
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
All the best to your nephew and congratulations to him for persevering!
