Some good news for us is we were present at our granddaughter, Juliet’s high school graduation last Friday night. She graduated from Liberty Common, a charter school that specializes in a classical education.

Before the ceremony, they had a slide show of pictures for each senior. She wore a red key representing the fact that she started at Liberty Common as a kindergartner and finished as a graduating senior. She also wore a yellow cord since she graduated with honors. Juliet was also a member of the choir that sang at the graduation. When each senior received their diploma, a kindergartener escorted them to the stage front for applause and an official photo. It was a great night.

One thing I loved. At the beginning, they walked in with the American flag and we all stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance. It brought tears to my old eyes.

Juliet will attend Colorado State University (Go Rams!) in the Fall.

I’ve used this before, but it’s still true …

I think it’s the latter …

Now I know what Ottoman means …

Not exactly comforting …

AI, another word for Sky Net? …

You have to be a Star Trek fan or a Gorn to get this …

Speaking of Star Trek …

Now a couple of memes for those of us dealing with old age …

Maybe there’s some advantage to getting older …

Now for some of us who survived our childhood …

So true …

Finally, the joy of a free range childhood …

Today is the day to remember those men and women who have given their lives to protect the freedoms we have. We also remember their families who released their children to do what they believed to be right.

Monday Humor will be tomorrow, Tuesday.

When life bears down on us, this song reminds us we can hold on and go to God for the strength we don’t have.

This is our New Mexico Bird of Paradise bush. It puts out beautiful blossoms for a long time.
