Lesson 792: Zenith

 

Hello, Readers.

This weekend we are celebrating this gal.

Middle daughter has finished up her undergraduate degree

in Speech and Hearing Sciences,

and will be heading off to grad school this fall.

We spent today at a small celebration within her department.
We got to tour her building,

meet her friends,

and shake the hands of the professors

she's learned so much from.

We also we learned some jokes

that only future Speech Therapists

would understand.

Ellen Louise,

whose name at birth,

was mistaken as Eloise,

has reached her zenith.

For her undergraduate study,

she stands atop the highest peak,

or in the words of former PA Governor,

"the zenith of her potential."

Ellen Louise will soon learn

that a mountain rarely stands in isolation.

It is part of a range.

Standing atop one mountain,

just gives you a spectacular view

of all the more mountains to climb.

It is fitting that Ellen reached her zenith today

when the clouds looked like this.

They are my favorite kind of clouds--

puffy white on top,

flat gray on the bottom.

Keep looking out over the horizon, Ellen,

but take some advice from Teddy Roosevelt, too.

I almost titled this blog Bloom

because of these shots of my apple blossoms!

Congratulations, 

Dear Daughter.

We are so proud of you!

--Mom

**Updates on the other fun stuff next week.

We'll let this blog rest on the efforts of Ellen.

Please keep in mind my Big Barn Book Club--

pencil in Saturday, May 20th,

if you'd like to be a part of it.

Find me,

or someone connected to me,

to find out the when and where.
