Mary graduated from the NRG Stadium in downtown Houston. There were 600 graduates and lots and lots of friends and relatives. It was a really nice graduation with short, interesting speeches and Mary crossing the stage early in the program. Jon bought her flowers that thrilled her. She kept saying, I feel so special! And of course she certainly was.
Afterward, we drove around (since we were already downtown) looking at where Jon works and where Mary will go to school next year: The University of Houston. She will be in the dorms. It is a huge school! Then Jon took us all (their family, the elder Barneys, and us) to a Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant Mary had chosen where I tasted Pho (pronounced Fuh) for the first time which is a really tasty soup with veggies. We had ordered so much food we all had it again for dinner on Sunday. And it was still delicious.
Friday Jon treated us all to dinner for Dad's birthday. Dad chose the Tin Roof Barbecue for dinner. Everyone was really pleased with the food and the live entertainment. It was raining like crazy but that didn't dampen the good food and good company. Sorry my pictures are fuzzy, but you get the idea.
And look what Lara gave us! We killed our mixer trying to make divinity. It just gave up. ( I was later told that you should never try to make divinity on a humid day!) So we needed a new mixer and since it's close to our anniversary I thought we could finally get a good one, but she had one already that she wasn't using and she gave it to us!! What a treat! It makes me so happy to finally have a KitchenAid mixer!! We plan to celebrate our anniversary by going to see Jungle Book and eating at Jason's Deli. We will go after the temple on Wednesday since we will be busy the rest of the week here and there.
Today is Memorial Day and we are taking it easy around here. We will go watch the kids swim later today and then maybe take a nap. :o) It's nice being old.
