We went to a graduation party out of town Friday night. Beautiful setting in a community hall with pictures of the graduate as baby, preschooler, grade school, and high school and all the associated activities. There were classmates, grandmas, aunts, uncles and cousins, and lots of other well wishers! Good food, cool weather and lots of fun. Today on our afternoon walk, the neighborhood was dotted with other graduation parties — a tent on the lawn, a noisy crowd in the family pool, people streaming down the walk and disappearing into backyards for something off the grill. Scenes being repeated in cities and towns across the country. Here’s to all the teachers that got the graduates through!! May you have fun and connection in your life this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

I’m a little late to the party as I just found your linkup, but thank you for hosting! This looks so fun! 🙂 I will take your well-wishes for fun and connection in life this week seriously as I’m an adjunct instructor and just finished class yesterday–I’m busy with grading the next 2 days and then I’m ready for some fun and connection. 🙂 I’ve shared links 119 and 120 and am off now to visit and comment on others. Happy Wednesday!

Hi Charlene,
I sure hope you had a great Mothers Day weekend. Thanks so much for featuring my Chicken Tortilla Bake, I really appreciate it. I have not been feeling very well for a while now. I am going to be forced to go to the hospital and take care of myself for a little bit. If you don’t see me for a bit, that’s what I’m doing. I will be back soon I hope. Thanks so much for all the awesome parties!

Hi Miz Helen — I hope everything goes well for you during your time in the hospital. You were one of the first to link to Busy Monday back when. . . I have enjoyed reading your posts and trying your recipes! If you think of it and have time come back and give us an update even if you don’t link. We’ll be thinking of you!! And hope you are back in the Country Cottage soon. Charlene

Happy Monday, Charlene! Your party always brings a spark of joy and this season, including all the grad parties, does too! I’m so blessed – as a retired kindergarten teacher, I still get invited to so many former students’ grad parties! I love to be part of the festivities! Have a great week!
