Graduation and some of New England

You probably have better pictures than I got, but I wanted to share.  The whole university did the ceremony in the pouring rain.  Mark and family were soaked to the skin. We were lucky for Ella's college graduation because it had stopped raining and the sun was shining.

There is all of us at one spot.

And the rest of us were where Mark could get good photos. The young woman next to Sheila is Courtney White, Ella's partner.

Meema and Papa with the woman of the hour. 


And here we are the whole family.  Mendy looks short here because we are standing on a hill.  It looks like Ella and I are as tall as Papa and taller than Mendy.  Hee hee
We left Vermont on the 24 of May and drove to NH.  While there we visited  a bunch of places we had seen six years before.  This is a view is the White Mts.

Another view of the mountains.  We drove along the Kancamagus Highway for about 35 miles. It was so quiet up there and beautiful.

The Mountains are about 4000 feet and covered with trees.  Wow

The Swift River runs along the Highway.  I caught some people playing in the falls.


We are in Maine now and will be here for about two weeks before we start for Michigan.  The rush trip to Vermont was worth it to see Ella (Helena) so very happy. And so grown-up.  Our girl has done it.

More next time.  Love Mom nd Dad

We were so soaked after the main ceremony that we were still damp for the College of Arts & Letters ceremony where they called out her name. Too bad I can't post a photo here, I'd out one up of her onstage.
