Two different cousins graduate this weekend. Cousin Pete is finishing the University of Arizona and cousin Colleen is receiving her masters at the University of Vermont. Way to go guys!
Today is the Special Olympics track and field meet. This is the big meet that takes place at Kezar stadium. Last year it was so much fun and I expect nothing less this year. Maggie is in the power wheelchair race and the slalom event in the manual chair. Her girlfriends will push her in that one. If you're in the area pop into Kezar this morning.
The other news is that Maggie will have an extra fan in the stands today. Big Brother Tim arrived home yesterday after a year away at school. Whoo HOO! Maggie is a happy girl. She and Tim have always had a special bond. He will yell louder than anyone.
I know there are differing opinions on the Special Olympics. It still keeps kids separate. But my attitude is better separate and having fun than included and sitting on the sidelines.
Whatever your point of view, I have a suggestion. If you ever get a chance to go the Special Olympics, do it. Try to catch the opening ceremonies if nothing else. It makes your heart soar to see all those smiles.
