Lots to celebrate--fathers, graduations, and a friend who became a neighbor. All going on at once.

Aidan closed out his high school years last January by finishing all his coursework early. He chose not to do graduation at the end of the "normal" school year, but he deserves congratulations anyway in my book. So CONGRATULATIONS!!! Aidan. Well done, grandson!

Keoni attended his "distanced" outdoor graduation...

The President speaks in my living room.

First, there were five Honorary PhDs given. One was to...

Alan Alda.

I captured the moment Keoni's name happened...

Keoni and a host of happy graduates. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to you, Keoni. Well done, grandson.

As many, many people know there is a lot of grunt work to moving and the last several days involved much grunting as Pat began her move into our Dock Manor building. She is upstairs on the opposite end with a lovely view including trees. Yea! Her family is helping and I have helped along the edges, too. Big stuff comes today with an actual moving company bringing the big items. 

Out west, Kingston sent (many) photos and videos from the back seat of the family car as they traveled from Salt Lake City to Albuquerque to visit Grandma Valerie and Grandpa Tim. 

You get the idea...

On the home front, on an enjoyable walk, Aidan grabbed a locust from a fence rail and carried it with us to the barn lot. He wanted to give it to Miss Florence the Friendly Chicken...

Wendy sent a placid scene a little earlier in the week...

From Wendy. Toby and young Bert have found a way. 

From Aidan. Toby is handling the heatwave well.

The raspberries are almost ready to eat.
