I'm So Proud!

One of the reasons (besides the grand kids!) we are in Hubbard, Oregon is to be here for Daughter Dawn's graduation from OHSU's nursing program on June 1st. Tonight Dawn was inducted into the Beta Psi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the national honor society of nursing. It was an evening laden with memories as I had been the founding president of the Delta Chi Chapter at the Intercollegiate School of Nursing in Spokane thirty years ago!


I wore my Sigma Theta Tau key (along with my nursing school pin) to the ceremony tonight, then pinned it on Dawn after she had signed the membership roll. I am so proud of her!

Today was also Grandson Micah's ninth birthday. He had two pieces of cake at the induction reception -- said he got birthday cake after all! (He's having his birthday party tomorrow after school.) We ended up at Burgerville for a late dinner after we got back to Canby (we had to pick Grand daughter Havela up following her band concert and didn't have time after the induction to eat in Portland.). The staff brought Micah a fresh strawberry sundae with a candle, but he was just too full to eat it!

Burgerville prides itself on using local Oregon ingredients. Tonight they had battered asparagus. I'd have taken a picture, but it all disappeared too fast!
