Graduation!

Here I am again. It's been a little while since I sat down to put pen so to speak to paper so to speak. I am on vacation now, putting this down, and talking on the phone to my significant other. I love multi-tasking. Sometimes I'm even good at it. I worked on the Monday STAT holiday because I missed out on the Friday before my vacation. I missed Friday due to graduation of my great-nieces, that is my nephew's twin daughters Nastassja and Shandeana. They are 17, almost 18 and finished high school. It was just yesterday that I watched them as infants while their parents were off doing something somewhere. Yeesh, makes me feel old; and I don't have any children of my own to gauge my own mortality.
Anyway, it was a real pleasure to see the girls graduate. I missed out graduating myself and many in my family generation did not graduate as well. One of the girls, I am not certain which one, has said she wants to pursue an advertising or graphic arts career. Both girls have said they are taking a year off before going back to school. I hope they don't get used to making minimum wage and decide not to go back to school. Well I have to run but before I go, I have posted a picture of the graduating gals. They are twins so I will not even attempt to indicate who is who. I can't tell them apart; I used to but don't see them often enough to say. The dark, long haired man is papa, John, and grandma - Irene - is my sister who will turn 65 this October. Wow time flies. Congratulations to Nastassja and Shandeana!! Good luck in all your endeavors!
