I am so disgusted with this computer. You are probably getting tired of hearing me complain about it. If it's not one thing, it is another. Actually, it has not been a good marriage since the beginning. I guess I will start looking for another one. Last night I had all but completed a post when I received a phone call. The computer went into hybernation and I lost everything I had worked on. I will begin again -
Last Sat. night I had the priviledge of attending the PHHS senior prom held at the Richmond Science Museum. What a delight! Are young woman more beautiful than they ever were? It seems so. We were allowed to view the seniors as they paraded around the outdoor portico. I took photos but many were too dark. I am very proud of my grandson - proud for the person he is, his accomplishments, his steadfastness and his character. He will attend VA Tech this year. He will do the Hokies proud. I hope to camp over in Blacksburg in the fall and perhaps get into see a football game. Tickets are hard to come by.
I am slowly putting stuff away in the "basement" of Bearfoot. Sebastian and I will leave early Tuesday morning although we need to fill up with propane first. I think I will stay at a Flying J or Walmart the first night and then stop at a campground the second so I can empty my tanks in preparation for a lengthy period of dry camping.
Tonight is awards night at the HS. Grandson is receiving several. It is hard to believe that the two boys I witnessed entering this world 18 years ago are grown men. I stand in awe of them. Eldest grandson, by 5 mos., will graduate first from Otter Valley Union HS in Vermont. He will be moving to Boston to work while he decides what it is he wants to do in his life. He is a born leader and teacher.
I am getting cold feet again about driving over the Rockies. I do plan to head west but not quite that far this year. I started making a list of things to see on the trip. There are so many places to stop and explore on this side of the Continental Divide that I think I will take my time. I do want to see my friend in Grand Jct., CO but I can fly there easily. She may be moving to Austin in the near future. Austin, TX is much easier for me to get to with the coach than over those big mts. My bravery is a fickle thing.
I like this photo of the beach in SC taken on the trip up.
