Yes, even more!

We drove to a subway stop 'cause there was no parking near the stadium lawn at Lehman College, and after the ceremony we felt like celebrating which means getting slightly silly.

Yes, more graduation pics- I just can't seem to stop. We goofed around at the subway stop. I love this picture.

it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are

~e.e. cummings

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing
its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting

~e.e. cummings, 1955

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,fabulous?-- Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love

Coney Island

More party in NYC.



We decided we had never been to Coney island and that it must be about time.

Well yup, it's all true what you have heard. Nathan's does serve an excellent dawg, the ancient wooden coaster is a bone jolter, the Atlantic ocean is colder than the Pacific, and freak shows abound outside as well as inside on the Boardwalk.
Earlier in the week we had hit a flea market in Hell's Kitchen and David picked up a too cool leather jacket. Thus we were inspired for the above photo.













Here we are inline for the "Wonder Wheel" at Coney Island.












We picked the tilting rocking version of the cars of course.

It's all About Allison week continues!

Six Flags -nine roller coaster rides-one tired Mom

Superman -- one is strapped in actually laying down on your stomach to simulate superman flight

Nitro, my favorite,is the biggest coaster in Six Flags Great Adventure's history and the tallest on the east coast. (Except for the parks new Kingda-Ka) Nitro is another wonderful hypercoaster built by steel coaster master designers Bolliger and Mabillard of Switzerland. The coaster features a massive first drop of 230-feet, which is followed by seven camelbacks which produce plenty of airtime.

The height of the seven camelbacks starts at 189-feet.

Where to start?

Allison Cutler Kelly, graduated from Lehman College in The Bronx, New York City,

Magna Cum Laude

May 2009.

Allison is now an RN.

Her best bud...



We attended a beautiful pinning ceremony where they recited The Nightingale Pledge dressed in nurses white, complete with "candles" .

-- She was a class officer.
--She was inducted into the Nursing Honor Society.
--She received a special monetary award ......

Ian has supported her and helped to make this all happen, all while working, studying, writing, and Bishoping. Hurray for Eno!

Hurray for the Kelly's!
