Saturday was the day of the graduation. I got up early to get myself ready to go. I look outside and its torrential rain.I pack my overnight bag and hope the weather will clear up as we head north.
No such luck ,the weather gets worse.It pours,and pours and pours. May as well add a couple of more pours for you to get the full effect.
With the weather being so bad we get behind schedule and stop at a store about 90 minutes away. unfortunately i cant eat any sandwiches and lunch for me is a bag of chips. I watch with jealously as K munches into 2 egg sandwiches.
We arrive at our destination in La Ronge 10 minutes late. The parking lot is in a field which is now a mud bath. I have to squelch through the mud with high heels on. Very impractical.
We sneak into some seats at the back and are pleased to discover we hadn't missed anything. The local First Nations band were still drumming.
What i took away from the graduation was the diversity of the group. No long does you prom date have to be a person of the opposite sex. There were same sex partners, a transgender couple, a girl with her baby,and a single woman who made a statement by going alone. Not wanting a prom date. Its amazing to see these wonderful changes coming to the world.
