The aftermath of commencement

I dropped my mother off at the train this afternoon, she told me that she had a very nice weekend with us and the kids. She was very proud of the baby girl and her accomplishments. She also had a very nice time laughing with our son, he was in a great mood so he was being especially funny and charming, making Mamie laugh. Often times when the baby girl and the baby boy get together, they go back and forth with the banter and it is so very funny. She took the pictures at the ceremony and she gave me the memory stick so that I could upload the pictures on my computer. Her camera took very nice pictures, it is not often that I find myself acceptable in a picture, and I actually think that I came out okay in these. I have to say that I am so happy that I don’t have to deal with the empty nest issue right now, I still have the summer with my daughter and we can take it nice and slow before she has to pack and go off onto her new adventure of college.

A Recent Scare

Running Dog

What immediately came to mind was one evening, I was walking my two dogs, Rex, the German Shepard, and Jack, the Jack Russell, in the park behind our house when a Pit Bull came charging towards us from the top of the hill. As it got real close, I held my ground and yelled in a firm voice GO HOME and it worked, the Pit Bull stopped and I stared it down and yelled once more GO HOME and the dog turned around and ran off. My two were standing next to me, calm and never made a noise. I think that if I had been a dog, my hackles would have been raised.
