“If friends were flowers, I'd pick you”

by teresa

It's raining and my flowers are loving it.
I hope it clears up soon enough today for the soccer field to dry off.
Tonight is the parents vs. the kids game.
Last year it was muddy and I slipped and busted my butt(I went down in a James Brown side split) during the parents game.
Good times people.....good times.

I am almost done with the slide shows for Saturdays big party.
I know....I said I would never do another slide show.
But I can't help myself.
I really get into choosing the perfect song, and arranging the pictures just right.
I made a color one (to the song "Higher" by Creed) and a black and white one (to the song "I hope you had the time of you life" by GreenDay).
I need to transfer them over to my lap top...and then tweak it a bit.
I also need to take a couple of pictures tonight of one little girl. For some reason I didn't have many shots of her. Then I can add them in here and there.

The mother/daughter dinner was nice last night.
A little longer than I hoped (3 1/2 hours)...but Lauren had a good time...and it was nice to see all her friends from Alpha Phi Tri Hi Y.
There were fifteen graduating seniors. I remember four years ago at the same dinner. Watching the seniors getting recognized...all the tears and hugging. I remember thinking how adult they looked...and a little scared too. Scared they wouldn't see each other again (and most probably won't), scared to be out in the real world, scared to be the little fish in the big pond. I saw that again last night in the eyes of the fifteen.

Do you remember that feeling?
Are you friends with your BEST friend from school?
That girl you told all your deep secrets. That girl that was apart of every fun, happy, exciting thing in your young life?
I'm not.
How sad.
