emotional

6th grade recognition - final day for 6th graders. About 1 minute into Mass I looked at one of the moms wiping tears from her eyes and decided I shouldn't look at her anymore! Then three of the kids read the farewell. Cenza, who has been my DCTV star for 4 years, was the last one to read. She read one sentence and broke down and sobbed. Mrs. Mack had to go up and console her - she sobbed through the rest of her speech. As I am trying to video tape this (without a tripod) the camera is so jiggly people will be sea-sick when they watch it and tears were streaming down my cheeks. Then it all ended with a special presentation of flowers to Janet, our aide who is retiring after many, many years. Janet is also a Pie Club member - of course she bawled like a baby and so did everyone else.
Speaking of Pie Club - I was listening to the radio this morning and Matt, from Bud's (where Pie Club meetings are held) was on. He has started a Bud's Pie Club!!!!! Buy 10 pieces of pie, get one free. Now, don't you think all Pie Club members should get their first card punched in full - after all - he is infringing on our club name rights!
