May was a busy month!!!!!
I flew to Boston, then Nashville, then back to Boston,
then home to Phoenix, then back to Boston!!! What?!?!
I was so happy I could see Beka and all the Seniors perform in their Senior Showcase on May 4th!
What a talented bunch of kids!
Beka with her partner, Tyler!
On May 5th Beka traveled to NYC with
her class to perform their
Showcase at the Alvin Alley Theater on the
6th.
She returned to Boston on May 9th!
I flew to Nashville on May 5th,
where Annette and Lisa picked me up at the airport!
We had a great sister time!
Heard great music in the Honky Tonks in Nashville!
Here's just one little clip! Amazing musicians!! So much fun!
Annette took us to "Million Dollar Quartet" at the TPAC -
such a fun and fitting for Nashville show!
But our time together wasn't all about fun ...
we really were there to help get ready for
Annette's 60th birthday party!!
We spent a couple days helping Annette with her landscaping!
We cleared land, planted plants, decorated, etc and put on a
great 60th birthday party -
complete with dressing the part! It was a great time with
75 of Annette's friends coming!!!
We got to go with Annette to her artclass at The Sanctuary.
There we met Patsy Clairmont, Joanne Miller and Dorsey McHugh
and other great ladies who are involved in this inspiring class!
We went to lunch with these great ladies!!
I found out they knew Nancy Demmitt, my friend in Phoenix!
Dorsey and Joanne's book was about to be released “Be Your Finest Art”.
They told me they quote Nancy in their book ... Small World!!!
I was blessed to spend 10 days with my dear sisters
and met many great, inspiring and fun people!
On the 14th I flew back to Boston, where Tim was planning to meet me.
We had a lovely hotel for 6 nights so we could be there for
Beka’s graduation on the 17th!
It turns out Beka had to leave on the 15th to go back to NY
to meet with a final agent.
We met her at the bus station for coffee and hugs before she left!
We enjoyed a couple days alone touring around the sights of Boston.
At the Bell-in-Hand enjoying an amazing beer!
America's oldest tavern, est. 1795!
Beka’s bus was late on the 16th, but we met her at the station –
took the T back to her apartment where she freshened up
while we got a table for a mexican dinner at The Cactus Club, close by.
Time to Celebrate!!
The next day was graduation day!
We met Beka and she showed us around –
her apartment, school buildings, theaters, classrooms.
We watched as the seniors had their pictures taken on the front steps!
We went out to an early dinner at Thai Basil on Mass ave!
Then back to the apartment to freshen up, iron graduation gowns,
and take a taxi to The Back Bay Events Center where we
watched a beautiful graduation ceremony and had a lovely reception!
Tim and I flew home on the 20th as planned...
hoping to make the birth of our 6th grandbaby!
As we were traveling Amos Pax Nelson was born!!!!
Now for time at home to get things done
and spend time with the new grandbaby and help with the Nelson boys!!!
You would think that things would settle down now to just being grandparents
... but oh my! Big happenings!!!
