Parents tell me once they get to college you don't know any or many of the parents.<br />Mind you, there were nearly 300 kids went up on stage to receive their diplomas at Harley's high school, I wasn't a bit bored, it was fascinating to see them walk across and their friends cheer for them - and the incredibly high heels of the girls.<br />In fact there were so many kids , they actually gave them empty folders rather than diplomas as they would not have been able to organise to have each correct one to the students.<br />Yes I gave the idea some consideration and feel I should stick to the gym...better gossip thereAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-64752168765876302712015-06-10T10:40:48.069-07:002015-06-10T10:40:48.069-07:00We will have the washer and drier ready and emptie...We will have the washer and drier ready and emptied for him, LOLAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-53454773958409064332015-06-10T10:39:37.948-07:002015-06-10T10:39:37.948-07:00Cannot believe your kids are so grown up!
