My daughter graduated from High School.  My wife and I took the younger girls to the movies and Dutchwonderland over the Memorial day weekend.  We hadn’t been there in years and it brought back memories of our older children.  Cooked on the grill and even had a little fire in the outside fire chimney.  Great to relax.  Walking with my wife and family about 3 miles each day - a wonderful way to get caught up on the day and be with the family.

My GF and I took my son there last year, first time I had been there since I was a kid. We all had a blast that day!

My hubby & I took our 9 year old son to the NASCAR race in Dover this past Sunday.  It was his first one and he loved it.  Just a few laps into the race, he turned to me and said “I want to come back next year!” We took him last year but, it got rained out and we could not go back on Monday.  He was disappointed so, it was nice for him to get to see the race this year. 

3 NASCAR tickets:  288.00
Gas to get to the race:  $40.00
T-shirt, hat, and diecast car for my son:  $55.00
The smiles on my son’s face:  PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted my 300th post to be a Positive Post.

I appreciate the banter and sometimes frisky debates that everyone offers up here on the site.  Thanks to the forum owner and moderators for doing a great job with the site!

Went to see the “British Invasion” at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, just past Dutch Wonderland.  It was fantastic!  Fabulous voices!  Highly recommended.

We would just like to say how proud we are of our son, Colin, for graduating yesterday from 21st Century Cyber Charter School!  For the past five years, after becoming chronically ill, he has gone through “you-know-what” to achieve this goal of receiving his diploma.  Becoming a member of the National Honor Society and on the Distinguished Honor Roll were also added to his accomplishments.  He has suffered much pain and suffering and this is an achievement that he (as well as his entire family) will cherish forever.

Congratulations Colin. It’s wonderful to know that you have arrived at this milepost in your life. I am sure you will go on to do wonderful things in your life. I think of you and your family each time I see “a bird or a butterfly”. It would great to know what you plan to do with “the rest of your life”.

Congrats again!

Funny you should mention the bird and the butterfly...yesterday at Colin’s graduation, a butterfly landed on Kerri’s head!

my mother always told me that if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.  thank you for the positive thread.  thank you to the people in southern york county who are supportive of their neighbors and build people up.  by the way, i went to a great concert at hershey to see the doobie brothers and chicago.  what a blast from the past.

I have never seen the Doobie Bros., but man Chicago is still great after 40+ years!

Hendrix once said at a concert “You gotta check out this guy Terry Kath. His band is Chicago Transit Authority. He’s the best guitar player in the universe.”
