I am still among the living
The last week has been hectic and the reminder of this one promises to be as well.
Last weekend our daughter (in the exact sense she calls us her surrogate parents, but emotionally she is ours) graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater cum laude with University Honors. Her major was technical theater, not performance. Her career goal is stage management. She does that very well and also does great set design. She is competent with shop tools, including MIG welders (a special source of pride for me, given my love of welding and fire). On top of that she is brilliant and beautiful. (That's not just the proud papa, my counselor has met her, and she said my daughter is incredibly beautiful). I am unbelievably proud of her, as I am of all my kids.
In addition to graduating she had to move out of her apartment by Sunday afternoon, and we had a party for her at my in-laws that day as well. My middle son, her brother, flew in for the weekend as well and we picked him up, got his car registered, and then back to the airport on Monday. Now I have 22 display easels to get built by Friday. Fortunately the stock prep is done on them.
Maybe by next week I can return to blogging on a more regular basis.
