Logged 1119 miles...

...to see my pride and joy, my niece Irene, graduate from Stanford. She has an Ivy League education from Brown and now a Masters from Stanford. Braggin' just a bit? You betcha! I am overwhelmed with joy! Her dream of teaching came true for her on Thursday. She signed her teaching contract. Unfortunately for me, she's staying up in Northern California. Wish she was closer to home. Oh well, what's another 1000 miles on the ole' SUV.

Here she is on Saturday's Latino Graduation Ceremony.


Sunday's department graduation. My sisters from left to right: The proud Momma, Consuelo. Irene's Nina, Leticia. Irene's favorite Aunt, yours truly in the middle. The non-crafter sister, Lucy.

Brag, brag, brag....you deserve it and so does she...wow...great pics of family and friends. I taught high school for 33 years. With that kind of college degree she will be teaching in higher learning.
