    This is all so very strange

    BobBigBoy...my daughter is a C3C, class of 2015. I remember the feelings that I had one year ago at this time. I was so excited for her to start living her dream. I dropped her off at the airport on Wednesday morning. She didn't see my tears, I was able to hold them until she passed...

    Graduation Gift Ideas

    Trying to come up with a nice graduation gift idea for my daughter. Anything I come up with seems kind of silly, because she won't be able to use it or enjoy it for quite some time. Any ideas?
