Valparaiso Law

Yesterday we drove in a rented minivan to attend Jonathan's graduation at Valparaiso. It was a sunny warm day and it was held at the Chapel of the Resurrection. The ceremonies lasted about an hour and there was a luncheon at the new Christoper student center. We went to Culvers afterwards and all of us were so proud of Jon's determined accomplishment. Simon, April,Lukas ,and Phillip had left the night before and stayed at the Fairfield Inn which as it turned was in sight of the Chapel. Phillip is done with his classes at Waverly and will graduate in a week. His baseball team finished the season 14-13 and will play at Charlotte next Saturday in the districts. Phillip has a 3-1 record and pitched a 7 inning shutout at Oldsmobile Park in the Home Run for Hope tournament against Everett. He struck out 9 giving up 2 hits, a perfect day as his team later beat Eastern for the championship. This spring has been getting warmer after a very rainy April, so everything is green and growing. It has and will be a very busy May and early June with all the graduation parties. Today we celebrated Gloria's birthday and Jon's Graduation at Ybarras, as she and Natalie arrived Thursday and will be here until the 2nd. I have been subbing regularly at Riddle, 3 days a week. So much is coming to its completion as so much is also now beginning giving those mixed feelings of where are we heading and where have we been. Moving on will show what will be as contemplation only is a rest stop on this continuing journey for all of us seeking enlightenment.
