Tom and I went to the members’ choice awards ceremony at The Earle in Ann Arbor last night. As always, The Earle provided a beautiful selection of tasty items. It was good to see David and Wa and to meet Lynch Travis, who won best actor award from the members. A very nice evening.
I’ve uploaded more photos on Flickr.

Lorraine and Bill invited Tom and me over to meet Thanh, former roommate of their son Rob at Western Michigan University. Thanh is visiting in the States this year with the intention of perfecting his English. Over delicious, home-made shortcake and fresh Michigan strawberries, we enjoyed learning more about Thanh and his life.

Lorraine just gave me copies of photos she took at the reception she, Pat, and Chris prepared for Tom and me after our marriage.
I like this one, too; we were unaware she was snapping a photo.

Kelsey was one of my language arts students way back in 7th grade. She is graduating with honors and headed for Grand Valley; I attended her open house and took this picture of her with her band director, another friend of mine.

Meggan is another former student of mine; she took my poetry class while a student in 7th grade. She is graduating with honors and will continue to run for Michigan State. Many students forget about their middle school teachers, so the few who remember and invite me to their open houses are prized!
