"I was born in a small town..."
My brother is now officially an alumnus of Red Bluff High School...wow, I cannot believe he is old enough to be out of high school. He will officially be an "adult" next week as well.
The weather was perfect for graduation night. We had a family dinner before the ceremony, which was fun--as always. We had homemade ice cream (as we do at nearly every family gathering) and a great time. I can't wait for my family reunion in a month!
At graduation, I was waiting for some family members to arrive, and as I waited I began to see people that I have not seen in 3 or more years. I saw beloved teachers, friends, and even a few people I never wanted to see again...but each encounter was pleasant. It was like a mini-reunion, as many of my classmates have siblings who are my brother's age. Small towns do have their advantages, I suppose: You always see someone you know...that can also be a bad thing, but mostly good.
But last night brought the most unexpected reunion! My mom and grandma and I spent the afternoon in Old Sacramento, walking around the shops, eating dinner, etc. They dropped me off in Sacramento, at the airport, later on and as I was getting my luggage out of the car I noticed a tall, blonde young man looking at me. I looked up, and it was a friend of mine from high school that I dated for awhile. It was so awesome to talk to him for 20 or so minutes. How random! He had dropped his mom off at the airport, just as I was getting there. It made my day...
So my quick trip home ended up being a very good one.
I went to the doctor on Thursday, and they ended up doing blood work to check some things. No real concern--mostly just precautionary. They didn't do a scratch test for various reasons--which is good because my sunburn is STILL red (and peeling now) a week later...:)
Random question that I'd like you all to comment on. My family and I were discussing this, among other things, this week, and I thought it was an interesting question that no one will ever know the answer to. We came up with no answer, of course, but it is something to ponder. (Michael said that he is going to humiliate me on his blog for this question, so I thought I'd ask before he posts!)
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you think that Reagan's body was in the casket?
Let me know what you think!
