This time of year for most of us is a very busy time and this year is particularly busy for our family. So far in June we have :
1) Attended Clare and Graeme's wedding in Newcastle
2) Attended brother Ken's graduation from Kennedy school
3) Celebrated my birthday
4) Entertained brother George and sister-in-law Judy visiting from Chicago for the graduations
5) Helped cook for Bethany's graduation party next Friday
6) Bethany attended the Senior prom and we opened our house to an after prom party
7) Tomorrow we celebrate Bethany's graduation with Crick and Meg, George and Judy, and Ken and Tara
etc, etc, etc and on top of our normal busy lives . . .
I know that the year has cycles of beginnings and endings, dark and light, in New England hot, warm and cold but it seems that we could even out a the activities in June. I guess most of these events listed above are around the school year.
It is with a bit of sadness that I think about unsubscribing from the electronic email list at LHS. I thought of continuing as a voyeur for a bit, but the fact that there are holidays for the school in September and that school starts before Labor Day mean next to nothing to me. Tomorrow marks an incredible milestone in our family as Bethany graduates and we will no longer be connected as parents to the school system, formally. I have been connected as a parent to a school system since 1984, when Crick was a 1st grader.
So, will next June be less of a whirlwind for us?
