Aaaahhhh.....my students are graduating in a frenzy and I have so many invitations, but I am afraid Grandma Bramwell can do so much and no more. Congrats, my offsprings and much merriment for a great 4 years of college or years at boarding school or years at law or medical school. The point is you conquered, you finished the race, you delivered. And I say Amen! Congrats, all these pictures are overwhelming, I could only post a few..... Sabria Hector, one of the many, who received one of those "full scholarships" is off to college and it just reminds me how important it is to see the journey. She is starting out and others are completing....the journey. It is not for the swift, the negligent, but the ones who smell the roses, are kind and humane along the way, are dutiful in their approach to duties, assignments, friendships.....and allows time to wonder and create. JUNE 7th FAREWELL What a bangarang of a ceremony. The preparations are coming together. The buzz is on. The boho chic style for dressing is welcomed this year, jeans and a nice top.....we have managed to squeeze in every possible item for discussion. The decor is being handled nicely, the food, the speakers, the booths and their representatives, what a swell day. I look forward. The long goodbyes, the wistfulness....going to miss a few, dying to just throw some on the plane and say, bye! (Emily????) Smile.... But 4 p.m. Do not be late. I start on time, God's willing and it will be an event to remember. Who gets Order of Distinction Steven Woodham's Music House, Immaculate violinists to serenade you...come on.....do not miss it.
