Another month has gone by, so off we went to a fine steak house for out monthly pig out lunch. This one was also in celebration of Alex's 22nd birthday. Pictures and words here: http://rollybrook.com/majada.htm Next month will be my birthday bash. The big 8-0
Today is a big day for Nery. It's his last day of his college classes. No more long two-bus rides to school, no more home work every night. It's been three years of 'round the calender school. All he has left to do is three months of an internship, and then he'll graduate. There's going be be a big feast at his house Sunday 21 Aug to celebrate his achievement and my 80th birthday. I can hardly wait; I'm hungry already.
Alex has another year in veterinary school. Misa has three more years in medical school.
What a wonderful achievement for Nery! And congratulations to you as well, Rolly, for the unwavering support you have provided to him and to your other two protegés over the course of these years. God bless you all!
For our November lunch party, my students and I visited a new restaurant in Torreón. Clafouti is a French bistro-style restaurant and bakery. http://rollybrook.com/clafouti.htm
The good news is Nery graduated from college this week. He spent this past quarter as an intern at the CFE regional office. That office is still in the paper age; all their inventory records, everything from chairs to trucks and tools, are on paper. Nery’s assignment was to write a custom program to computerize the inventory. He completed the task a week ahead of schedule. His supervisor was so pleased that he arranged for Nery to make a formal presentation to the top management.
The really good news is that they were so impressed that they offered him a job. He starts to work in January. What a nice graduation and Christmas present
And that’s not all. Yesterday, his older brother got married and moved out. Nery will now have his own bedroom for the first time in his life. He is a very happy camper!
For our monthly lunch party, we went to an Argentine steak house. This was a combination Christmas party and celebration of Nery's very good week. Alex still has another year in veterinary school. Misa has two more years in medical school.
This afternoon (Christmas Eve), my students came bearing food for a surprise lunch. Meatloaf, macaroni salad, ceviche, flan and candy. We cleared off my table and had a fine lunch. The guys even washed the dishes.
4 May 2012 -- Nery and his girlfriend graduated from college today. They had complete all class work last December but had to wait until today for the formal graduation.
Nery came by this afternoon, so I asked him if he and Liz would get married. He said he hopes so. When? In 2 or 3 years. Right now they are both working and trying to save money. BTW, at the graduation, she was awarded special recognization as the valedictorian.
