La graduación de prima Dayanita, our first potluck and an old picture of Kelly and Megan

We have lots of pictures this morning. First of all, we are very proud of cousin Dayanita from Monterrey. She and Lorena’s cousin are the same age, go to the same school, and just celebrated their graduation from sixth grade. Our understanding is that Dayanita was one of the academic stars of her class. CONGRATULATIONS Dayanita. We are looking forward to saying that in person when we go to Monterrey in the fall.

The second set of pictures were taken by our friend Catherine at the going away potluck we had for the Yee family at our house. We had a GREAT time, but ate way too much food. You can click on the thumbnails to view a bigger image. Our friends, Gary and Sidony are returning to live in Florida. Gary will be working in the Boynton Beach Mall. That is the mall that is about a half a block from where Lorena and I lived when we first got married. Lorena and her friend Vanessa used to push Kelly around the mall just about every day. We are definitely going to have to go there for a visit. The potluck started around 12:30 and did not break up until 5:30 that afternoon. We all had a great time, especially listening to some great stories by Jim and Madelaine.

Finally, Bryan sent a great photo of his niece and Kelly at the Y2K party we attended at his brother Gary’s house on December 31, 1999. I just loved the photo and thought I should post it. We really miss all the Joyces out here.
