Justin and I went to dinner tonight at Koko's (Saigon Tokyo), my first time since getting back from WI. Oh, how I missed their fried rice and teriyaki chicken! It was like a hero's welcome when we showed up there, warmly greeted and well-fed, with leftovers for a couple more meals.
Today in my hometown it was graduation day at the government high school. My two nieces graduated from this school one year apart and both times we witnessed the ceremony from indoors their gymnasium due to rain. Today, however, the pageantry of the event was able to take place. Back in 1941 my mom served as one of those 'flower girls' seen in the photo with the baskets in front of them. In 1942 my mom was one of those graduates descending the stairways into the bowl in front of Lincoln High School. While the graduation services at our Lutheran High School are lovely in their way, this public school one is quite dramatic in its own rite.
