One of the bitter sweet things we do at this time of year is attend the graduation of some of our employees. It is sweet because we get to celebrate a milestone in their lives as they finish high school and move on either to the work world, or secondary education. We are very proud of their accomplishments. The bitter is that we know we will lose them soon as they move away and start their training or careers. We are not able to supply them with year round work, so they have to find other jobs. Our grads this year will stick with us for the summer, so we are grateful for that. The ceremony was in our local hockey arena.
Our community has a strong Scottish history and for any of our special events we have a piper on hand. Jamie piped the grads in to the arena today. It always gives me chills when I hear them.
Our grads this year are Sierra, Emily and Kennedy who currently work at the Snack Shack, and Jaycee who works at Cj's on the Links, and Rachelle who worked for us a couple years ago. Emily was chosen by her class as valedictorian this year and she did a good job of the honouring her fellow classmates. We are very proud of their accomplishments.

Not all things in my day are fun like attending grad. Today I had to clean the porta potty. We have lots of bugs down here, so it needs a good scrub a couple times in a summer.
Something else we got ready to go today was the poster for our 3rd Annual Hootenany. It is a fundraising supper here at Cj's and we have music on the deck as well. This raises funds for Friends of Rivers Lake Committee whom I am a member of. FRL is also having a Paddle Poker Derby the next day. This is done in non motorized boats. I will report on it when we have it. Until then, Good Nite!!
