and then my brother graduated

I’m so proud of my little brother, who graduated from Samford University on Saturday. Congratulations, Jon! Here’s my favorite Dr. Seuss quote, just for you:

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…

So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed).”

–Dr. Seuss (Oh, the Places You’ll Go!)

If I could rewrite it for you, it would say “100% guaranteed”.

We took advantage of Aunt Cindy’s beautiful flowers while waiting for Jon to arrive at the party.

Caleb captured Jack and Jon’s reaction when Granddaddy arrived:
