Pomp & Circumstance and Ben & Jerry's

Long day at work today. Worked 8 hours yesterday and today to make up for vacation days. Days like today I wished I worked for a company that offered paid vacation time. Oh well, can't complain. Didn't have to brush my teeth before clocking in!!

Ate quick dinner and then ran out of the house for the evening's events.

Charlene and Catherine, the beautiful, intelligent twins, I get to call my friends, graduated tonight from Harpeth High School.

First had to stop at Wally World and get cards and cash back. Then our daily trip to Dunkin Donuts. Thank God for lite lattes!! Got to Curb Event Center just as the the graduation started. First thing ran into Sis. Carmen, their mom, and gave her their cards to deliver (just in case we didn't see them, and we didn't . . . except from a distance!). Both girls were valedictorians, as well as Danielle, another super, sweet gal at First Church, that helps in Charity's Sunday School class. So proud of all the girls. They all gave lovely speeches and the twins sang beautifully, as usual. Pray that Charity will follow in their smart, Godly footsteps. What amazing role models!!

The night was so young and warm when we were through, we couldn't head to bed. Drove to Ben and Jerry's for some frozen yogurt. I had Half Baked. So yummy with brownie chunks and chocolate chip cookie dough and only 4 points!! Charity had chocolate and it was everywhere!! Glad she enjoyed it! And for Dave it was Black Raspberry. Strolled slowly back to the car as we enjoyed our treats, only to be asked by some dude with two very tiny babies for some money. These people make me sick. I wanted to call Human Services. So sad. Dave gave him $5 and he was on his way. Using those little twins as bait!!

We were going to head to Centennial Park for a little walk. But after that encounter we figured we head on home. Dave decided to take a little drive to scout out a new Fox Ridge subdivision. He likes to see how how much are house is worth in other areas for no good reason . . . and he gets after me about blogging . . . . see, we all have our hobbies!!
