It's graduation time, folks. Eli is out of high school and off to college soon. The Beautiful Mrs. K threw him a not-soon-forgotten party at, where else? Francis Park. Cake, cupcakes, and friends and family galore.
Uncle Jim, fresh from the fields. Tyson and Alex, soaking up some sun and grad snacks. Luckily we had shade during the hottest day of the year thus far.
Of course Eli's South Side crew had to come. Beck somehow didn't know he was invited, but luckily he showed up anyway. River helped with set-up because she's awesome. Maeve recovered from her mountain bike ride this morning in time to class-up the party.
Wouldn't be any kind of party without a big chunk of NICA people showing up. Lots of love from this crew right here.
My brother and his wife joined us, too. My momma would have been so proud! Yes, Eli and Janet had their eyes closed. It happens.
These two. Just a couple of years ago we had Hanna's college graduation party in this exact spot. Lost her to Dallas. Losing him to North Carolina. Happiness and sadness are different sides of the same coin for sure.
More South Side characters. I keep telling Eli that there are always more people who care than he thinks.
Never miss a chance to point out a person's positive traits, I always say.
Also, never forget that there are certain people who just bring out your best.
And lastly, remember that wisdom, support, and respect go both ways.
Congratulations, Eli! Onward and Upward!
