We had one of the sweetest days yet at Bishop Maginn High School.
We both went with Zinnia to help cheer up the students, who were sad about the closing of the school next month and also frightened by the awful events in Texas.
When we arrived, the Prom Committee was gathered to make paper corsages for the prom. We got two for us, and Sue Silverstein demanded that we get out pictures taken together.
It was a nice idea and the picture touched both of our hearts. We know our lives together can’t go on forever, but we are grateful for every day of our time with one another.
I think the photo captured that. I really like the photo, and I don’t usually like pictures of myself. As I get older, I get more vain. But Sue Silverstein took the photo and we both love and trust her, and we love being at Bishop Maginn.
We just feel completely at home there. We looked at the picture together and we both said the same thing. This is the way we are, this is the way we feel. The picture captures that.
When we showed up, Zinnia went to work giving out licks and joining in hugs, and Maria jumped right into the corsage table and helped the kids make some.
(Zinnia cheers up Tser Nay and Dah Blue Gay)
More photos coming of the corsages.
We are all returning on June 10th to help with decorations for the prom, the last one ever at Bishop Maginn, the building has already been sold.
And we’ll be coming back the next night, prom night. Zinnia is leading the red carpet parade of alumni down the red carpet, which arrived this week.
Can’t wait to see the picture of you in your tuxedo on Prom night.
Yoiks, no tux for me, ever…we have to draw the line somewhere…
Yes very adorable couple, thanks for all you do! Love, care, hope
this photo of you and Maria made me smile! It is frame-worthy, IMO. Just lovely. The radiance just emanates from both of you, and it’s *real*. Love you both!
