I began the Gold Key day by recording some of the beautiful plants and
flowers that people had sent Suzanne.

IMG_0434
IMG_0435
and Jane's beautiful socks
IMG_0436
Then John
IMG_0437
arrived to take everyone to school. Once at the Gold Key, they
were setting up
IMG_0438
and Maggie was getting ready to take a picture
IMG_0439
as the people on the other side of the stage
IMG_0440
settled in and we noted the program
IMG_0441
details. John
IMG_0442
was playing the clarinet. Then Claie and Joyce
IMG_0443
IMG_0444
went to the podium and were joined by Sarah
IMG_0445
who got her gold key.
Better pictures of the trio were taken outside
IMG_0446
IMG_0447
IMG_0448
IMG_0449
and then Sarah and Joyce displayed things
IMG_0450
as Claire
IMG_0451
got her things together so that there could be this final picture
IMG_0452
before Sarah posed with Suzanne
IMG_0453
IMG_0454
for these nice pictures.
At the reception, we captured John Byers
IMG_0455
Jon Huang
IMG_0456
and Tara
IMG_0457
before it was time to head home.
The next night we were back at the school where we noticed
our name
IMG_0458
in the parking lot en route to the choir concert. After the singing,
Sarah must have been tired because her eyes were closed
IMG_0459
until Claire helped open them
IMG_0460
IMG_0461
and we recorded Jon Huang,
IMG_0462
John Byers,
IMG_0463
Neil,
IMG_0464
Joyce and Lily,
IMG_0465
and Maggie
IMG_0466
before heading home for the night.
A few days later, Jane took this picture of me
IMG_0467
before turning to more artistic mode
IMG_0469
IMG_0470
IMG_0471
IMG_0472
and taking this

rotation movie
June 4 was Meredith's graduation day. We poured champagne
IMG_0473
and served hummus with pita bread
IMG_0474
to toast her and then let her serve herself this food first
IMG_0475
from the buffet
IMG_0476
IMG_0477
Ken and the parents
IMG_0478
seemed to be enjoying the meal as were Ben and Meredith
IMG_0479
Jane
IMG_0480
Sarah
IMG_0481
and John
IMG_0482
especially when the fruit
IMG_0483
and sweet
IMG_0484
courses were served. Jan arrived
IMG_0485
as Meredith's dad ducked into the kitchen
IMG_0486
to avoid being broadcast on the web. Jane took these pictures of me
IMG_0488
IMG_0489
and then this collection
STA_0491
STA_0493
STA_0497
STB_0492
STB_0494
STC_0495
STD_0496
that will be great if we ever learn to use the stitch feature.
And this
MVI_0487.AVI
short movie
that records the conversation
After this dead picture
IMG_0490
undoubtedly of the coal mines in northern Minnesota. we recorded
Sarah's chalk art
IMG_0498
and then the original
IMG_0499
which was lit better
IMG_0500
in both views. After the basketball game heated up
IMG_0501
we took the family pictures with
IMG_0502
and without
IMG_0503
allowing space for David Kroenlein
Later that night, Sarah snuck out for her pictures of Ivy Lane,
IMG_0504
IMG_0505
IMG_0506
the chia tigers,
IMG_0507
IMG_0508
IMG_0509
IMG_0510
IMG_0511
IMG_0512
IMG_0513
and the stop sign
IMG_0514
before returning for some last pictures of Ivy Lane
IMG_0515
IMG_0516
and this picture of night darkness
IMG_0517
to end the roll.
