Memorable day

We attended the Graduation this morning. We picked up Mike at 8 am and took him in our car to University as Erin had to go earlier. We met up with Erin's family in the parking lot. They had driven from Toronto - must have left really early in order to arrive there by 9 am. So we met for the first time Erin's Mother, and Father and Sister, and proceeded to sit all together in very large auditorium. The procession began by 9:40 am and then the formal program commenced. They had a large projection screen overhead so as we were near the back of the room, we could see close up what was happening on the stage. We got photos of Erin being presented on stage and receiving her "hood" (scarf around the neck?) and then in another room got many family pictures. Then we were invited to go for a celebration lunch at Boston Pizza restaurant before her family headed off down the highway for the long trip back to Toronto. I am so glad to go and be a part of this special day. Mike bought her a bouquet of roses and presented them to her after the ceremony. We headed back home ourselves right after lunch and met up with the heavy rains that were forecast - but we did need rain for the garden.
Tomorrow is Election Day in Ontario and apparently according to the latest polls, the three main Parties are neck and neck. So the outcome is anyone's guess. That means tomorrow evening will be a late night as polls close at 9 pm and results will start to roll in shortly after and I will want to watch.
For now, take care.
