Detour

I was jogging along on this "Blogathon" and then I had to take a detour. My granddaughter came with my son and his wife for a visit...YES!! Little Kailynn Josephine Ong is 2 months old. She is a sweet thief, stealing my heart with ever glance and coo.

The detour got a bit longer with both my daughters graduating...one with her Bachelor's degree and the other with her Associate's degree.  My eldest daughter, Katrina, was chosen as the commencement speaker for her class. She has a masterful way of presenting a speech leaving almost everyone in the audience with tears in their eyes...either from laughing so hard or from a bit of bittersweet crying. How she does it, I will never know. My second daughter, Cassandra, has amazed me with her tenacity of following her dreams no matter what stands in her way!

The detour finally ended with a quick trip away...to a most wonderful destination. I will talk more about this bit of paradise in my next post. All I can say is.....absolutely wonderful! Just think...Wisteria...water lapping along the beach...rest...lots of reconnecting...delicious food...tons of kissing of darling Kailynn....and oh so much more....ah, what a wonderful part of the detour.

Graduation and babies

Lots of milestones today. My daughter, Katrina, graduated from University today. She was the class commencement speaker. My daughter, Cassandra, graduated with her Associates degree. She will now go on to finish up her Nursing degree. My granddaughter sat on my lap while I was at the graduation ceremony- and let me tell you- I may be biased- but I think she is the most well behaved little 8 week old baby!! :)

Milestones...there are appear to be alot of them in my life these days...
