One Enchanted Evening

Last evening was special!

It was Chelsea's Senior Banquet

at the Eden Resort.  

Warren and I went along with 

Grandma Ruth and Grandma Georgia.

We sat at a table with the folks from

Creekside Cottage, The Rabes,

and Grandpa Bob and Grandma Phyllis.

Emily is their graduate.

It was a delightful evening.

The food was amazing!

Just look at the presentation.

Looking at that beef I thought

there must be filling in it...nope!

 All beef!!

Wow!

And it was so tender.

The decor was so sweet.

 The committee used the class colors

of teal and silver.

I am convinced that we had the best

server in the room.

He was excellent!

Warren and I were responsible for the 

sound system and the running of it.

What that means is that Warren did 

all of the work and I arranged mics

for the performers. 

However, we nearly 

had a disaster when the 

head of the banquet committee

came over and asked if we had remembered the

dinner music.  

Oops!!  

She had told me that we should bring

that music while I was at Co-op and 

it had totally been forgotten.  

You know Co-op/Banquet

two different things....

My brain is getting smaller,

I swear!

Now we were in trouble.  

Poor Tracey's eyes got big!

We began searching Warren's iPod for something

suitable....she wanted instrumental only.

He had nothing!

So Tim, Chelsea and Emma ran out to Grandma

Ruth's car to search all of her cd's to see if there 

might be something we could use.  

They returned with 

not one,

but three, 

wonderful disks!!

We were relieved and then quite amused later when

Tracey returned to tell us that someone had actually 

come over to her table to compliment her on the 

dinner music!!  

Who does that?  

Listens to the music

in the background????

We got a huge laugh out of that and were so thankful

that Mom keeps a large music library in her car.

 While this is blurry 

I just love this picture of the girls.

The talent was offered up by graduates.

It was fabulous!!!!

This is one very, very talented class.

It is beginning to sink in.

Caps, Gowns and Invitations were

handed out on Monday evening.

With the banquet last evening....

Graduation is creeping up on us.

But one thing I know for sure...

this is not the end....

It is a huge beginning!!

Of a new style of learning.

And it will be exciting!!
