a time to pause and reflect at graduation(s)

after two weeks of witnessing graduations planning a couple of celebratory parties ... it's time to come home and recharge the batteries!

My daughter Kristin earned a masters degree in engineering at the University of Virginia and will be teaching at West Point in the fall … and our daughter Karen earned her Ph.D. at the University of Tennessee Knoxville … and will be teaching at the University of Louisville also in the fall. Congratulations, Ladies!

All this hard work makes me tired.

Now it Kristin’s graduation at University of Virginia

 

Kristin will be graduating with her second engineering masters degrees… and since we love everything South African, we are having a celebration at the Shebeen! CLICK on this picture to visit this fun restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia!

I’ve know a few folks from South Africa, although I admit they were mostly from South Africa in the pre-digital age… and they were athletes. I remember being recruited by one world record holder who admitted that when he was recruited by this same school in the frigid north , the coach answered his question on the location of his school in relation to California by saying,”yes, we are near California!”  ooOoOoOh, I guess it was sort of true.

In any event, we will be celebrating Kristin’s second masters in engineering with a fun time at the Shebeen!

Oh yes, Kristin, congratulations! This is very cool.
