Party Time Friday After The Graduation
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. ~St. Augustine
Party Time (Page Four)
First We Get Prepared
Time for a short walk
before the party gets underway
The flowers were beautiful
Stringing the decorations... They would NOT let Paul on the table....

"That's it Mom..."
"Hello... Is it too late to order a cake???"

Great day for outdoor visiting
Did You Know? - The square academic cap, graduate cap, or mortarboard[1] (because of its similarity in appearance to the hawk used by bricklayers to hold mortar) or Oxford cap, is an item of academic head dress consisting of a horizontal square board fixed upon a skull-cap, with a tassel attached to the center.
In the UK and the US, it is commonly referred to informally in conjunction with an academic gown worn as a cap and gown. It is also often termed a square, trencher, or corner-cap in Australia. The adjective academical is also used. In the US and UK, it is usually referred to more generically as a mortarboard, or (in the U.S.) simply cap.
The cap, together with the gown and (sometimes) a hood, now form the customary uniform of a university graduate, in many parts of the world, following a British model.

Setting up the production line
Did You Know? - A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory whereby materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption; or components are assembled to make a finished article.
"OK... the goodies are ready!"
"Let's put Paul to work so he will stop taking pictures"
Looking good
Paul gets to make the tassels
Did You Know? - The word "tassel" comes from the Latin "tassau", which refers to a clasp (as for the neck of a garment).
