Lucy Jane's Graduation

29 May 2018, we headed down the road (actually it's up) to Santa Fe for Lucy Jane's graduation from Santa Fe Prep. The very day was 31 May, our 46th anniversary! Bill and Jlynn came from Hawaii and it was a nice time for the families to be together for a great occasion.The Hastings' home was being tested for radon and they couldn't open the windows, so we were glad we took our fan.

Rob's Grandmother died just before the trip and so the Hastings all flew off to Salt Lake City so they could attend the funeral in Star Valley, WY. We stayed behind with the kids and had a few more days in Santa Fe. So there is more, but this is all for now.
