Graduations

Its been ages since I've found the time to blog.. that's both good and bad news. What it really means is that I've been up to my eyeballs in guests which is great news.

We watched four Dickinson students, whose families have stayed with us many times, graduate in May. It was a joyous occasion for all of them and we were delighted to host several of those families for a dinner here at the farm.

A bittersweet moment- Cameron Kerr, who graduated from Dickinson in 09 and then was commissioned into the military, will be deployed shortly to Afghanistan as a 1st Lt. with the 101st Airborne, 2nd Combat Brigade. His family came from California and Scotland to be with us last May. It was a lovely time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Cameron as he travels to the "Big Sandbox"

Our neighbor Gillian, who has been exercising the horses here and helping with housekeeping duties graduated from Boiling Springs High School last week. We hosted her Graduation Party here last weekend. Gill has been accepted to Wilson College where she will be studying to be a veterinarian. We'll certainly miss her in the fall but she'll be here with us all summer which is good news for the horses and us.

Up next, Army War College Graduation in just a few weeks!
