Boston in May

 The Hubby, The Boy, and I were in Boston recently:


We were there to witness Harvard's 363rd commencement ceremony. Yup, you read that right: three-hundred-sixty-third!


 Lovely Daughter #2 received her Masters' degree:

 And there were some very, very proud parents:


 Congratulations, LD#2!
