Thanksgiving Guests At Our Table

 

First Game Postponed

 

The Vikings will have to wait...pandemic postponed his first day...

Blake is Back on the Field

I haven't posted recently. The pandemic has taken over our routines 

and I'm adapting to a new computer.

Also, blogger has a whole new face.

 It's all bit overwhelming but I will try...

This post is a test.

My new computer doesn't have all the pictures from old computer.

Meanwhile, Blake has become a Viking for 

Grandview University in Des Moines.

 

Popcorn's Here!

Sunday, June 28 at 7 p.m. -- Commencement #3.

 

 

Popcorn on Order!

Blake's in-person Commencement is scheduled for Sunday, June 28.

 They'll brave the elements at Valley Stadium where guests wearing masks have

 assigned seats and an hour ahead of the ceremony to find their places.

The 600-student class of 2020 has been divided into three parts

 for three ceremonies of 200 graduates each.

 

 

Each guest is allowed two guests.

Blake chose his parents.

The rest of us can live-stream the hour-long ceremony.

When I reported this to Stan, he laughed and said, "What a wonderful world!

 We can attend! We'll sit in our easy chairs with popcorn in hand!"

 

Thanks, Stan! We're cued up for the popcorn!

When we know the live-stream link, we'll report it here.

 

You go, Blake!!!

Celebrating Blake's Graduation by the Table: Part III

Blake attended Indian Hills for grades 7 and 8.

In the 8th grade, Blake won an award that sits in the trophy case

 at Indian Hills for running the mile in 5:02.

 Southwoods Junior High was the setting for Grade 9. That was the year of many travels:
 Amy's business travel to Hawaii, Christmas in Florida for the last time,
 and Spring Break in North Carolina.

It was also the year of more focus in sports: Valley Wrestling and Football.
His big win? The Student Leadership Award.
