It was about six o'clock last night, and we were just finishing up dinner and about ready to head off to Iris' cap and gown ceremony. I heard the sound of water...like when a toilet keeps running. At first I didn't think too much of it. When I finally went in search of the sound, I discovered that our hot water tank had burst and water was running all over the floor of the boot room. We cleaned it up, shut off the water main, and resigned ourselves to a good 18 hours or so without water, until plumbers could get in there today and replace the tank. Thank goodness there is a gym near-by where some of us went for showers this morning.
Luckily the incident didn't put a damper on the evening. The cap and gown, while long, was great. The guest speakers were kindergarten teachers who had taught these graduates 13 years ago. As you might expect, they had lots of very funny stories about these kids. It was then the valedictorian's turn, and she did her classmates proud. Next some of the students sang and played musical instruments. At one point, one of the graduates was singing a ballad and several of his classmates (my daughter included) joined him on stage to dance along with his music. The spontaneity of it was quite touching. Here are a couple of photos:
