"Whistler's Mother" is not a mother whistler.

I'm celebrating the fact that Phil shoveled all of that chit before I could get there. Wonder where Debby is?

Often wondered how to use that word an bypass the computer "police"

I also wonder where Debby is - the silence is overwhelming

Okay, break out the party hats, cakes, noisemakers and green potato salad - we're CELEBRATING!!


Kendra graduated from preschool today! She was attending the VIP Preschool at the Children's Resource Center in Lovell. But next school year she'll be attending the regular preschool program at Rocky Mountain Elementary School, and we are blessed that the wonderful woman who has been Kendra's assistant through both of her years at VIP will be her assistant as she goes into her new school. All of the kids except 2 will attend Lovell Elementary - Kendra and one other little girl. At graduation they had "Caps and Gowns", got diplomas, each family got a big (and I mean BIG) photo album of their special times at school, and a T-shirt from the new school they'll be attending. So there were 8 blue Bulldog shirts and 2 cream colored Rocky Grizzlies shirts rolled up in a neat package behind them. I had to giggle at Katie - she leaned over to me and whispered, "So, next year Kendra will just go to school with 'ordinary' kids?" Yep, with just ordinary kids!


"I don't know what this thing is, but it seemed to be important to the grownups!"


"Hmmm, might make a dandy bullhorn!"


"See, I can be serious when the occasion calls for it!"


"But I'd rather not..."



Katie, Kenny, Jenny, and Kendra with her pink frosted cuppycake.


She tasted it, decided she didn't like it, and........


.....stuffed it, frosting side down, into the first hand she saw - Grampa's!

Congratulations Kendra on your Graduation.


@Blooie Thanks for sharing this wonderful event.

Always my pleasure to bore my friends with pics of my grandkids!

Kendra! Congrats.

She is such a doll!

Thanks...we think so too! She has simply blossomed with that preschool. Today she said the Pledge of Allegiance with the kids, (she's been practicing) tried to sing along with the little songs, and grinned from ear to ear. These kids are so used to her equipment that today Ashton (Kendra's biggest fan) almost had a meltdown because Kendra had to use her wheelchair. She's been using her gait trainer and walking while she's at school and he was outraged that the teachers wouldn't let her use it today. Shoot, if she'd been in her walker we'd have spent the whole time running after her and bringing her back to where she needed to be - she's GONE when she gets in that thing!

I can see the smiles beaming from your face from here, dear. I know you joke about boring us, but seriously, its a bright spot in the doldrums of a day to hear a Kendra/Blooie story. That girl is famous here and I think she has carved a little place in all of our hearts.
