Another rainy day in Birmingham today. Had several areas in town had a little problem with flooding.  Nothing like out in Texas though. With all this rain today that meant that I didn’t get to ride any.  Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.

My twin daughters will be going into the 12th grade next year and they had their pictures done yesterday.  My wife was able to take them to their session.  There were several other seniors there at the same time along with their mom’s.  The wife told me last night that most of the other mom’s couldn’t handle the thought of their kids graduating and broke down and sobbed like babies.  My girls were glad that their mom held it together.  I for one am not looking forward to them being seniors but I’ve accepted the fact that there is nothing I can do about it.  They’re growing up on me.

Slide-11

My girls were selected tp participate in this program at the beginning of the year.  It’s actually part of the Boy Scouts of America.  We had to fill out a Boy Scout youth application for them to join the crew.  Tonight was their graduation for this year.  Being that they were both Juniors they were not qualified for any of the scholarships or other awards but let me tell you that there were some serious money given away tonight.  Monetary scholarships starting at $250 all the way to $5000 and Tuition scholarships starting at $2500 to full tuition plus $1500 extra.  Over $500,000 was given away tonight to well deserved seniors.  I seriously hope one or even both my girls can get one of these scholarships next year.

Where did this weekend go?  In fact, where did April go?  I can’t believe that it’s May already.  School will soon be out for the summer and all three of my kids will either be working or going back to school.  It’s going to be a lonely summer.  My girls will be seniors next year in high school and my son will be graduating in December from college.  Hopefully he will have a job when he gets out of school.  I just hope I have enough vacation time built up before my girls have to go back to school in August to have some sort of vacation I can spend with them.  These doctor appointments are killing my time.
