Grandson Nathaniel had stunning news today. His teacher asked him to come to the ceremony for the graduating high school seniors in the culinary arts program. He is a junior and has been willing to do anything that special teacher asked. He was totally surprised when they called his name and awarded him a medal for the Most Outstanding Student of the Year. This included a small scholarship, as well. Yes!! That’s our grandson!! You can imagine how very proud we are of him.
Being that kind of grandmother, I asked for a selfie before we hung up.

I’m sure Nathaniel was floating on air for a while, but when he was ready to hang up, he said he was going to a nap. He gets up very early to go to school.

Thank you! Nathaniel began wear a suit to school when he was in junior high. He still does! He ties his own bowties, too. His formal dress genes did not come from me.
