Graduation’s almost upon us…
May 9th, 2009
And for McGehee, that means that it must be May Day. True, May Day’s supposed to be the 1st of the month, but that’s Jazz Fest, so that’s a nonstarter. It gets pushed off to the first weekend after Fest and there ya go.
I’ve been pretty good about this kid-gonna-graduate business, but tonight’s gonna be a sniffy one. Incoming Freshman at her school get a ‘big sister-’ an incoming Junior to show them the ropes. Then, just before graduation, the little sisters thank the big sisters before being promoted to being big sisters in their own right.
Got it? Moving on, moving up, growing, milestones…and yeah, okay sappy. Whatever. I’m not much of crier, but when Ali was the incoming Junior, I got weepy, knowing that it wouldn’t be long before she was the one wearing the white dress and moving on.
And so, practically over night, here we are:
I got sniffly just dropping her off, so I know it’s gonna put the makeup to the test tonight. So I have to head back to the school shortly for the ceremony, which amounts to a graduation warm up. Just imagine what that’ll be like. o_O

We are so proud of her and she is so beautiful. She reminds me of Barbara.
Nice! Ali looks so pretty!
I can’t believe she is pretty much done with McGehee; its insane!!
Good luck with your future.
