Hey Lou, I haven't been on here in a while and look what I almost missed. Beautiful girls Lou. Congrats to your great granddaughter! The picture of you and your wife is wonderful. I know you miss her! When you have a minute send me an email and catch up. I'm wondering about your physical injury? Karen

Thanks everyone, especially those of you who said I looked great! Hehe. He had a job lined up with a store chain but they bailed out on him at the last minute. His major was business administration and he is jobless now! He is moving back home until he finds a job, which is okay with me! Now that our kids are growing up and moving out I'm wishing they would come back, and he will for a while! I know it's hard on him but I'm happy!

Patti-I know how you are feeling.My grandaughter turned 18 yesterday.She was a good student,liked school,was a good basketball player and loved playing and was in the band.Then out of the blue last winter she quit school.Her mom and dad(my son)are divorced and mom,her older brother and DGD had been living with us.Dad was married again to a woman who has a DD a couple of years younger than DGD and had made it clear from the beginning that her DD was the queen of the house and DGD was just the peon so DGD wasn't living there.When we came up here to help youngest DS with the babies,Mom was in a relationship and they all moved out.That is when she decided she didn't want to go to school.She didn't like the guy mom was with either(he WAS a jerk)so that made it harder for her.Anyway,I feel like I let her down by not being there for her.If she had been able to come back and live with us I think we could have kept her in school and things would be different.But,the situation here can't be changed either so I am torn between the little babies that need us here and and the BIG ones at home.LOL Just be in your DG's life as much as possible and do the best you can.That's all anyone can do. Congratulations to your DGD.She will have a lot of wonderful memories from her Graduation Day!

Beautiful women - what a wonderful Mother's Day present. Did you have the same beautiful weather we had here in Philly?

And did Suzanne pick her dress to match Lizzie's gown?

Congrats to your beautiful granddaughter ... and to her family, for encouraging her.

I hope that she is able to find a position where she can contribute to the welfare of society, as I think that her generation may have some difficult times ahead, in our part of the world ...

... and find personal satisfaction in her career.
