Say It Isn't So

It's not true. This isn't happening. It's all a dream. My sweet, firstborn baby (shown above, just last month) IS NOT graduating from high school tomorrow.





She HAS NOT been transformed overnight into a beautiful, talented, confident young woman. She does not have a driver's license or a facebook account. And she is MOST DEFINITELY not going away to college in 2 1/2 months.


Feel free to visit me in my new home state--DENIAL.



We love you, Lauren, and are so very proud of you!

  2. Hi Barb!
    It's your cousin Ellen. I just discovered your blog - very cool. Congrats to Lauren! Where is she going to school?
    Did the girls actually drink tea? Mary, my Mom, and I took Carolyn and Rachel for tea for Carolyn's birthday a year and a half ago and the girls weren't thrilled with the tea. And those tiny sandwiches are more filling than you would think!
    I think I have a taste for gingerbread cookies now.....
    Please say hello to everyone and congrats to Lauren!

  3. Ellen: Hi! Lauren is going to VCU (Virginia Commonwealth Univ.) in Richmond to study photography. She's got her housing assignment and a roommate, but not the laptop so far.

    Yes, the girls did drink tea. I'm planning to post about the party. We went for the works--fancy china, sandwiches, scones, and tiny desserts.

    I passed on your congrats to Lauren. She still remembers your visit from years ago.

    Love, Barbara
