A Sudden Twist - Graduation


Have you ever had a day suddenly change, and you are surprised to find yourself somewhere you never planned?
That was today.  Some scheduling was wrong or something, and we got a call from Auburn Mountainview High school asking if Brady (and I) could attend a Rotary Club luncheon where he was to be awarded a scholarship.  Huh?  OK, I know if the Rotary Club are giving you money for education, you show up and shine.  And, that is what Brady and I did.  It ended up being a big deal.  The GRC president and director of the GRC Foundation was there (I was able to say hi), counselors, principals, and the Auburn School District superintendent was there too.  70 students from all 3 Auburn high schools were chosen for a $500 scholarship.  That is a lot of money.  We both back at home looked at each other " Did we just do that?"  It was so unplanned, but fun.

Catching Up

Sunday was a really busy day.  I felt it was time to return to church in person and all 4 of us were there.  I introduced my family to my friends. Next was Costco to get Regan's cake for her grad party. At 2 pm we were at Tim and Angie's at the party.  It was great seeing everyone again.   Monday I got tires and an oil change for my car.  We also checked on the rebate we got in September.  I have to call the Refund Center tomorrow. Today I got the $189 rebate and off to Lowe's we went.  We bought things for the house and garden.  I plan to plant seeds tomorrow.

Celebrating Brady

Image
Saturday evening the family met up at Magenta's house.  I met her lovely dog and cat.  Saw Darian, Savanna, Bella, Marcia, Kenny, Colleen, and Magenta.  We spent 2 hours talking.  The kids worked on a puzzle.  I had a birthday gift for Bella. Sunday was Brady's birthday celebration at Round 1 at the mall.  We left the boys there and Debra, Kari, and I went to Claim Jumpers for lunch.  It was sooooo good.  I had a Cobb Salad with chicken and a Diet Coke.  Debra shared Spinach Dip and a plate of roast Brussel Sprouts.  Yum. Debra is quiting her job because Don now will be working a job for $7,000 a week.  Oh my goodness! Riley tried food in the food court from the Hamburger Shack plus others.  He praised and praised the food he ate.  He's such a foodie now.  And cooks well himself. Good day

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.
