2009 Graduates!

Seems like our family is finally growing up, with all of the nephews, nieces, great nieces & nephews graduating at one time (or so it seems)... There is a large crop this year. As I can collect the photos, I'll add them to the blog at this location. If you have photos of graduates, feel free to shoot them to me via e mail.

After an exciting and fun-filled year, Randa walked the stage last week and got her just reward after 12 grueling years in lower education. For those of you who don't know who Randa is... she is my great niece, or, she is my youngest sister's (Diane) grand daughter, and our niece, Dana Michelle's oldest daughter. Seems there could have been an easier way to say that. This is quite a feat considering the rest of Randa's busy year. We are proud that she graduated and can now get on with enjoying the casual life where things are just wonderful every day. Randa, never again will you have to put up with silly teachers telling you what to do, parents nagging at you constantly, alarm clocks, nor all the other things that drove us all crazy during our school years. Life is good. Except for the bad parts. Congratulations Randa!

Preston Cale with his proud mom and dad, Gay Sumrall Cale (Mik's middle sister) and David. Preston is headed to University of Oklahoma to study geography which there isn't much of that topic around Oklahoma that he'll find too interesting. So hopefully, they will be studying geography other than the immediate surroundings. We wish Preston well. He graduated a National Merit Scholar and in the National Honor Society from a class of 420.
