Much To Celebrate

Missy threw a great party Sunday night to celebrate Dad's 79th birthday and Mother's Day and to top off several days of visiting Yalies. What a treat to see Kyla again and meet her college friends. Lauren was the only one we had met before.

We started with a brunch around the pool here at Jennifer Shores on Friday morning, followed by swimming and sunbathing. We all took photos but I don't think I can blog mine since I don't have Picasa on my new computer. I managed to grill Kyla about her plans for summer and beyond, and it all sounds pretty exciting.

The girls helped Missy prepare for the party and clean up after. Thirteen people were there, including Ken and Sharon and other assorted friends, but there was nothing unlucky about the combination of good food (and lots of it) and interesting people. Lauren and Alpena sang a lovely duo of Happy Birthday and added a spiritual to provide some really great entertainment. Kyla was catching up on everything with Ken and Sharon, and she gave me a wonderful picture of her in her Yale polo outfit for Mother's Day. It rocks, as Missy said.

Now that we have had that wonderful visit, we don't feel left out of the graduation festivities. Hope you all have a great time there, especially Kyla and the parents who made it all possible.

Sounds great. The a capella should have made you feel like you were right at Yale.

If you want to post pictures, Mom, you can do it without Picasa now. You just do a posting and use the little picture icon at the top (the one that looks like the mountain scene). From it you can just choose the picture to include using the "Browse" button. You can choose to display it in a small, medium, or large format.
