Last Saturday - or was it the Saturday before? My days are all rather topsy-turvy right now - we began our day in London...
It was the date for his graduation, and we were all - minus Catherine and John - there to join him in his celebration. It's not often we have everyone all spruced up, so I may as well show y'all some photos of us at our best :)
The graduation was held in the Barbican centre, so all the outside photos have a whole lot of concrete as the backdrop.
Anyway, we weren't there to view the architecture, but to celebrate ...
Calum enjoyed the day so much, and delighted in being able to share in DR's joy.
I love this photo of DR with the Builder,
and then the obligatory one with both parents.
Five years of studying, DR, all seemed very worthwhile all of a sudden! Indeed, according to yourself, the studies still ahead of you are now something to look forward to. It's amazing how success spurs us on to wish to learn more.
Well, we may have begun our day in London, but we ended the day on the gorgeously warm Costa del Sol, and spent the next week resting, relaxing, and eating in warmth.
Gorgeous, delightful, delicious warmth.
Instead of my blethering on about DR's story, I think I'll give him a blog post soon where he can tell his own story. He, somewhat like me, loves to talk ;)
More of the Costa photos will follow too. I wish to re-live the holiday, so you guys will just have to come along with me. Deal?
Deal! Congratulations to DR! It will be interesting to read about his plans. The Wilberforce Academy sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great holiday you all had!
It was so enjoyable, Deanna :) . Yes, I look forward to pinning him down to answer my questions on a blog post!

Deal!! I would love to travel with you and see all the photos. Tell DR we hope to hear from him soon in his own blog post. ;) Congrats to him! And you parents, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan ... looking forward to hearing from DR too (trying to pin him down and get him to do it...that's another matter!)

Hooray! And congratulations! So exciting to see how the Lord will use him!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing his story!
Thank you, Keri. Yes, seeing God's providence at work is exciting. We pray that he (as we pray for us all) would honour God in all his life choices.

ReplyDeleteIt was hot! Too hot for Niseach 'softies' ;) . But it was fabulous having a whole week of doing little, and simply being together. Yes, as you say, lots of lovely memories

This election is America's last gasp for liberty. Our way of life, our freedom, is under attack every generation, every election. Do you have any idea what it is like for middle-class blue collar workers in America? We are being strangled by the noose that is the progressive left. Taxes are rising, health insurance premiums are through the roof, housing, school, food costs are rising. Donald Trump's base is working people. We'll never be rich, we'll work until we die, we know there are no Cadillac health care entitlements or pensions awaiting us like those in government can look forward to. We are looking for relief. Someone who will fight for us. We are tired and broke and angry. Third party? A pipe dream. The people get screwed, the politicians don't. Not voting for Donald Trump is a vote for Clinton. Say goodbye to the dying America that still has a pulse. Seeing your post about not voting for either? It made me sick. You are the type of person who does not get it. We are called bigots, racists, white-privelege, etc. We pay the taxes that fund entitlements for Hillary's base. The pensions, food stamps, disability checks, education, health care. We see in Donald Trump a man who gets it. He's not evil. He is a champion for the beaten, the people the media and our politicians scorn. I've read your blog for years, skimmed your fbook page because it was interesting and you come across as a nice Christian. Perhaps you mean well. But you are ignorant. What luck for rulers that men do not think. Fits you well.
