I shall be offline for this week; we're going to FL to see the eldest DGD
get her degree in Psychology in Lakeland, and then meet the boyfriend and
his father, who is hosting the post-graduate party at his home in Orlando.
Afterwards, we'll go on to Ocala for Sunday, then back to Tampa Monday for
the flight home. And I still haven't finished the outfit to wear. It's an
informal afternoon ceremony & I had planned to wear my CROCS, but guess
I'll have to wear shoes to fit the part of a DGM. Oh well!
Back to you all next Tuesday. Have a great week.
Emily
