By the skin of my teeth...

I finally graduated for what may be the final time. Graduation day was hot and a bit windy, though that didn't help much during the ceremony where I was packed in with hundreds of other black-robe-clad graduates, sweating profusely under the itchy polyester, being distracted by my ornamental hood as it alternately choked me and then slipped off and became more of a decorative sash.

We had a grand get-together out at Grandma and Grandpa's which was attended by many of my favorite people. We enjoyed roast beef, cake, presents, Pickle Ball, and silly photo shoots.
