My niece "graduated" today

From pre-school.

I put the "graduated" in quotation marks, because I'm not sure if that's really the proper term.

I guess it is a big deal to move up to the Kindergarten level in South Carolina.

Kinda like it was a big deal to have an 8th grade banquet where I grew up in West Texas?!

At any rate, eyewitness accounts at the event report my niece actually leapt from the stage after receiving her recognition.

I hope someone caught that on camera.

But, getting pictures out of that neck of the woods is about as easy as finding cheap gasoline . . .
