Alex’s Graduation Party and Father’s Day BBQ
Throwback picture from 1994
This is a picture of Alex, her mother and me in 1994 around the corner from where Alex and I now live, on Montgomery Street in Cherryland, where Alex’s aunt used to live. We pass that house almost every day now.
Pictures and video of daughter’s graduation
She had rehearsal this morning. She’s had my Mom and me there and relatives from her Mom’s side are visiting from all over the country. She got a job, her driver’s license and her yearbook all in the past few weeks. I’m very proud of her. I just wish I had a VOICE since yesterday it started to go south, and I wasn’t be able to scream and yell congratulations to her tonight from the audience. There were 710 people graduating! It’s a good thing it’s one of the longest days of the year, since it didn’t start until 6:30pm and it was a long ceremony. We also sat in the shade, which was comfortable when we first got there, but soon got kind of chilly.

Trip to Santa Cruz and Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Some pictures and a video of our trip around the bay today.
We thought the buildings by the lighthouse were for the staff, but it’s actually a hostel! See http://www.norcalhostels.org/pigeon/
Daughter got her driver’s permit finally
Now for the license so I can send her to the store to run errands!
She got her permit after passing the written; they are backlogged 45 days at our local DMV for the behind-the-wheel so she will inquire with other locations.
Daughter passed her written driving test!
She now has an official California driver’s permit and will hope to have her license within a month.
My daughter’s 18th birthday
Everything seems to happen at once. Alex turned 18, we moved into a new place, she takes a road trip to Los Angeles; she’s graduating high school and getting her driver’s license within two months, etc.
