Graduation and Retirement. Today we celebrated both events. We went to a high school graduation party honoring two of my "kids." We then rushed to a retirement party and celebrated 32 years of service. Both events had similar phrases used. Integrity. Character. Reputation. Honesty. I am in the middle; neither graduating nor retiring, yet find myself longing for those words to be spoken of me. Can those words applied to my life? I want the transparency of character to wrap me. Lord, make me the same to all I meet. Let my testimony glorify you.

Oh, Yeah...and I got a new outfit; picked out with my "What Not to Wear" consultant, Amber!Anxious to hear from the JKids.

Spring 2006 Peabody Girl FUN!
We girls had fun at the bead shop Wednesday making necklaces. True to the Peabody way, there were "rules." Each had to pick out a bead secretly that would be used on each necklace. We closed our eyes, and received our beads. Amber picked an amber colored stone (duh), Robyn a blue "robin egg," and Cindy a purple amythist looking one..."royalty," of course

Today we spent the day at Busch Gardens. The best is being with family!
