| Graduation |
I'm going to break one of my blog rules and talk a bit about my
family as I share with you some photos from last week. It was a lovely
and crazy week as my daughter graduated from high school on Wednesday, in a
very impressive service. It was one of three evening events that started
on Monday night, when we gathered in the gym for honors night. She
received a number of awards and accolades including a special honor for her
achievements in history and government. She also received one of the two
music awards and honors as the top student in AP statistics. She also
received her cord for having an "A" average throughout high school.
She attended a Catholic all-girl's high school operated by the Sisters of
Mercy. On Tuesday evening was baccalaureate which, like graduation,
was held in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. The photo from the left was taken by the school photographer as I was sitting to the right in the crowd.
Coming
into town for graduation was her brother and his family from Utah. It was
great to see them. The oldest of their boys had several things he
wanted to do: see an alligator, see a turtle, see "my fire
trucks," see the railroad museum and sail. We accomplished it all. The week was a lot of fun!

Have a good weekend. Any exciting plans?
Jeepers !!!! High School. It was only yesterday she was catching up with up on your tour and going for a cruise.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Graduate.
And didn't go up in flames eh :-).
Yeah, she's grown up and no, no combustion in the cathedral (just not tell John Knox). Her class here was the most diverse she has ever attended. Only 1/2 the students are Catholic--there are Jews, Hindu, Buddhists, Muslim and Protestants in the school.
DeleteThey had Jefferson Davis girls too. THey were in SC and then Savannah very very soon after they were established.
DeleteYou know your history! Yes, they did have the Davis children and have been here since the 1830s
Deletecongratulations to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, many best wishes to your daughter in her new adventures! What an exciting time. I just adore the photo of Little Sage, he sure does resemble you! And future sailor, absolutely without a doubt. Enjoy this special time and thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I get told that often about both boys which is interesting we adopted their father (my son) at the age of 12 (and nine months before my daughter was born!)
DeleteThat was quite a list your grandson(?) wanted to accomplish! Glad you were able to fit it all in!
ReplyDeleteWow.... at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
ReplyDeleteLike that top view.
I think every blogger has some self imposed rules. I have a few (but am not going to disclose them)
Catholic schools like to send their kids out in style! It looks as if her graduating class had as many people as my daughter's entire school (k-5)! My daughter would certainly love attending an all girls catholic high school I'm sure but that isn't an option around here.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you!
Brought a smile to my face. Glad you had a good family time.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you broke your blog rules and told us this news, and shared your photo's, about your family.
ReplyDeleteSuch special times.
Many congratulations to your daughter
Enjoy your weekend
All the best Jan
The Sisters of Mercy ran our local hospital for decades and since they gave it up to private enterprise, it's never been the same (or as good). My nieces and nephews attended their respective Catholic schools in Little Rock (and were all well-educated there), but no such option for my kids.
ReplyDeleteIf the rain will ever stay away long enough, I want to fish! We've only been out twice this spring, but both times quite successfully.
... and I hit publish before I remembered to say "Congratulations" to the graduate!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ! and I love little Sage soo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI know you are proud of her! Sounds like a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy life is so exciting - I am cleaning house tomorrow because book club is coming to my place Sunday. :)
WOW those are some very impressive honors and awards. I get nightmares just thinking about AP Stats! Congratulations to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! It's understandable that you would be very proud of her! Little Sage is adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, and congratulations to your daughter on all her accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter! You should be quite proud of her. It sounds like you had a fun family get-together as well. Adorable pictures of the little ones too.
