The Merry Merry Month of May

I was traveling and visiting all last month!  It was very merry being with my family for many graduations and fun events and parties.

First on the hit parade was a trip to Shelly's for her graduation from Liberty University!
She has two teenagers also in college and decided to bite the bullet and attend herself.

First we traveled up to Liberty University for her honor service and graduation
Here she is showing me a coin received for being a military spouse. There was a special ceremony to honor them.

 My daughter, Shelly and granddaughter Kyra

The next day was her walk for the diploma! 


 My first college graduate!   
My girls chose marriage and family first.  I am so proud of them both for going back to college.  My older daughter will graduate in December. 

But all this hoopla came in the middle of a move!!  
I love the color blue she painted her new living room, Dusty Miller.

The painting was done when I arrived, thankfully, but there was still much to be done.


 We stayed in both houses on different nights, cleaning, packing and hauling! 

The yard is landscaped well and much was blooming as they moved in.  
 I loved this really pretty foxglove in her yard
Isn't it perfect for Pink Saturday?

So that encompassed the first leg of the trip!

Congratulations to your daughter! Wonderful that you are able to travel and participate in all the excitement. (Do you EVER rest?)

The photo of the patio in your last post was really beautiful. I'm sure the party was, too!

It's a memorable month for your family Jeannie! I'm sure there will be more over the next years. And I admire that your daughter prioritized family and at the same time,never forgot about her studies. Admirable indeed!

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one ...

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

Image
When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside ...
