After the Grand Flower Parade, aka Rose Parade, we headed for Corvallis for a graduation party for the daughter of a client of Robert’s. We ourselves glowed in the presence of such a loving family, caring neighbors and friends. The perfect day continued here.

Alex, the high school graduate.

Backyard band.

Pristine yard. Bernie had very few rain-free days to get it into shape.

Neighbor kids came.

Dogs down the street were welcome. Hey, this is a great neighborhood.

The graduate's mom, Bernie.

Dad, Steve, and Robert joke laugh at each other's jokes. Now that is friendship.

The house is decorated with bright colors everywhere: tile, paint, furniture. MY kind of house!

Cupcakes from Albany!

This was the best chocolate cupcake I have EVER had. OMG.

The sun was shining, too. Couldn't have been a better day.
