Saturday was a very exciting day in our family. My niece, Lauren, graduated from lawschool 2 weeks ago & my sister threw her a celebration party this weekend. There were old friends, new friends, and family there & we all had a great time. Once again, my sister outdid herself on the food, serving ribs, BBQ pork, and all the fixins’. The weather really cooperated & it was a very comfortable time sitting out on the porch again. She has a busy summer planned & is now taking a prep course for the bar exam, which will be in July. After that, she’s got a 3 week trip to Europe on the calendar before she comes back & settles in on her new job…being a lawyer! I know she’s excited about her new vocation, although she did tell me last year that she would like to be a professional student if she could. That’s how much she enjoyed school & everything about it. I had to laugh at that one, as everyone in my family can’t wait to get her out of school….finally! LOL
The cake was yummy! Isn’t it cute?
My sister had this nifty banner over the frontdoor for her.
Happy Monday!
Rhoda,
Congratulations to your beautiful niece on her accomplishment!!!!!!
The cake and banner a wonderful testament to her…..
Thanks for the comment on the rain we received…..it was almost 3 inches and we are so grateful….hope you are getting some also…Betty
Wow, Rhoda, what a great photo of you with Lauren. The one of you and Peter is wonderful too. I know you’re all so proud of her. That’s quite an accomplishment.

I would love to see more pictures of your sisters backyard- it looks as if it were beautifully landscaped- and speaking of, *you* are so beautiful! I love your pretty smile and great hair!
Many many congratulations to the gorgeous grad! Sounds like her life is well in hand — and has excellent plans — including her trip to Europe! LOVE the cake! And of course — her aunt looked wonderful too!

congrats to LAuren! I laughed when I sawyour “I break for garage sales”, sign. My daughter (age 14) starts to say “please don’t stop” anytime we see a garage sale sign. Go figure, guess she needs more training!
