May 23, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. The Graduation.

David, Suzanne, Sarah, Allison and Samantha have come from Texas to celebrate the graduation of Mary Frances from High School. We are thrilled they have come. They drove from San Antonio today on Highway 10, then north on 55 to Jackson. This evening we ate dinner at our house, along with Christina, Kate and Molly. Only Abigail was missing. She is taking May semester at Furman University. David brought a huge basket of produce from his garden. We have enough tomatoes and green peppers to feed an army. Vine ripened tomatoes straight from the garden are delicious. We will enjoy. His garden production has been better than ever, due to the removal of a center plot of roses. This year he planted the rose bed with vegetables which turned out to be a big success. We are grateful for all his efforts. We are especially pleased they have come to visit. They stay at the Hilton. Tomorrow after breakfast they will appear, then take our Apple products for repair. We have two iPads with black screens and I computer that will not open. After a late lunch, they will take me to the graduation downtown which is at 7:00. The children look wonderful as does Suzanne and David. We are so pleased to be all together.
