Well with high school at least. Nicole graduated (with honors) from Buffalo High School on Friday night. Their school has an all night party for the graduates that resembles a grown up carnival (food, games, photo booths, prizes and a magician). I helped and it was a lot of fun, but I am too old to stay up all night. We had an open house brunch for Nicole yesterday and it went well. We had it in our garage and had to start a fire (in the wood burning stove) to keep everyone warm and comfy. Here are a couple photos from the day.

Congrats, Nicole.
I remember my high school graduation well. That was a fun summer, preparing for college! Love every moment, Nicole- Congratulations!
Yes, congratulations, Nicole. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing summer, full of fun and good times. I had one of those the summer I graduated. My friend and I spent the whole month of June working on our tans (?) at Lake Calhoun, and then on July 1st, we started working at the Animal Husandry Dept. at the University's Farm Campus. We worked there from July 1st till school started at the end of September, and I remember that as the most fun summer I ever had. We did nothing but laugh, Mary and I. She is still one of my dear friends and we still can laugh at some of the things we saw and did that summer.
That's my short-term wish for you. My long-term wish for you is a happy life, full of good things.
I'll pass along all the well wishes to Nicole. Thanks.
Love that purple cap and robe.
Congratulations on graduating with honors, Nicole. Way to go.
Did you have a lot of people stop by for the open house? That's a nice tradition. I am not looking to start it here, mind you, but it's very cool that you all do that.
Congratulations, Nicole, on graduating with honors! Carol, I am sure it is bittersweet to have no more children in high school. I am looking forward to - oops, I mean dreading finding out myslef in two years!
