Blogging took a back seat last month. May was busy for Angela and hence for us all.
First, she had a landmark birthday. 18!
She chose the Lemon Curd Crepe Cake from April’s Martha Stewart Living magazine. Delicious!
Next, she had a series of award ceremonies and presentations she needed to give for her senior end of year.
This was at the Windsor Rotary Club for Student of the Month with another recipient.
This was some of her art displayed during Senior Project night.
Here she giving her presentation on her Senior Project. Her project was to start and finish writing a novel. She presented in front of a panel of teachers, parents and students. They were notably impressed!
With only one week of school left, we threw her a big party! We celebrated her 18th birthday, her upcoming high school graduation, her upcoming trip to Italy to study art in Florence AND her acceptance to UCSB for tha fall! This required a special cake. So I made the family’s mile-stone cake.
Family, friends, more family and more friends.
With finals done she prepared for graduation.
Windsor High School had 412 graduates.
Yeah! Cheers! Hooray!
The keynote speaker was a former football coach. He had been gone for most of this year to be a contestant on The Biggest Loser. Koli Palu lost 216 lbs. Angela had watched the entire show and was so excited to meet him.
Five days later Angela boarded a plane to Italy. She will spend four weeks there; one in Lucca with friends and three weeks in Florence studying art. Now its June and I’m sure things will slow down around here. She will be missed!
