Andi's Is Graduating Tomorrow And.....

Yep.....
the party is over.
But.... I am so proud of her!!!!
After Graduation she will be finishing up a commitment
at a summer camp this summer.
She loves being a counselor.
And then it is off to The Peace Core.
I am terribly proud of her.


During the height of the 1920s land boom, thousands of copies of this poster envisioning the future University of Miami campus were sent around the country to attract new residents to the new Miami sub-division of Coral Gables. 
University until very recently has been considered a party school.
In my life, when I was in High School on Miami Beach.....
That is where we went to get into trouble.
Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Coconut Grove are all just about 20 minutes from one another.

Miami Beach today. *above
Andi and her friends spent plenty of Thursday nights there.

Miami Beach in the OLD DAYS.

Erl Roman and Students, Fishing Class, 1949
-early classes at University of Miami. 
HUH???

The beloved 'CANES.'

Andi lived off campus and just down the street from the University.
In my favorite little town in the Miami area.
Coconut Grove.
The best, and the most beautiful little Village.
I would move back there for sure, you can walk to everything.
...I lived there for a year in the 70's.



More Grove...and just 1 block from whered Andi lives.


Greenstreet Cafe on Commadore Plaza.  Andi would walk to breakfast here.

This is the view from where I grew up.
Not bad. Eh?

I am taking today, 
tomorrow (to attend the Graduation), 
and Saturday off for this amazing event.

Love to you all.  xx's
