This color is a lie. I'm not even wearing shoes (re: prior blog circa a couple months ago). They are sitting under my desk :o)
I can't believe my little (albeit nearly a foot taller than me) brother graduated from High School weekend before last. I mean, I was there and all. I have the pictures in front of me... but it's so surreal. I guess I figured we'd never really grow up and have to be adults.
I looked at my brother many times last weekend in awe. He is such an incredible guy with the most beautiful soul I have ever known a person to have.
The first thing he wanted to do with his graduation money was take this sister out to lunch. He is the first to offer a seat, a dollar or a helping hand (except when dad needs yard work done).
Sitting in the blazing Carolina sun, I was more proud of him than ever.
It was a nice weekend, overall. Lisa flew in from Germany, Grandma flew out from Phoenix, Uncle Chip came out from Charlotte and all of our friends and neighbors came out for the big celebration.
Father's day was another success. Lisa had to leave early in the am for Germany, so we did an impromptu FD gift giving of JAG Season 6. Naturally all the men wanted to watch it right away. Chris even tried to pull out the popcorn buckets.
The next morning we feasted on eggs, sausage and other breakfast goodies. We watched a couple JAG episodes, dad opened his other gifts and we just laid back and relaxed for a bit. Mom and I went blueberry picking for a while and went on the lake, but other than that it was a day of relaxation and JAG.
A very good weekend indeed.
