Proud, But Sad Momma

Well I don't think I told you, but my son Ian, is a fashion designer here in NYC... but atleast he lived at home.  Now however, he's finally graduated and taken a job at the design house of Hugo Boss and moving to Switzerland. Well the Swiss border, just above Milan.  I can't believe he's leaving his poor Mom here all by herself.. I think I'm experiencing that empty nest syndrome coming on...

Anyway today he was published in one of the fashion magazines.. so I thought I'd share it with you...

You kids are all alike...selfish and lack understanding... 

 Ivan - You made a wise investment in your future

Threefates, I give you  for the bittersweet experience- sounds like you did a great job raising him if he's having such success, but (as a childless man) I can only imagine the space it has left in your home. Perhaps you could use the time to acquaint yourself with a band called ELP? I hear they're pretty good- you might like some of their stuff.

Actually I thought I'd reacquaint myself with one of those letters anyway... I just have to go get him...

Hey R.T..... You're back!!

Scarey, isn't it??

Good morning 3Fs, may I join you in your pride fest? My little girl has just graduated for her VMBO diploma (thats a  Dutch high school diploma for 16 yr olds) and is about to start her HAVO (advanced diploma needed for university). Not bad for an English girl studying in a second language!

I'm nearly as proud as I was last year when she came home from a garage sale with a vinyl copy of "Close to the Edge" under her arm.

With her moms looks and dads brains () she's bound to go far!

Because you are trying to load the pictures from your computer directly... and they don't have picture file endings...

You have to upload the pictures from your C drive or wherever you have them stored on your computer... to an on-line address.  You can do this thru a photo server on-line site such as Photobucket.com... or you can also do this if you belong to any MSN, Yahoo groups... they usually have some space for that.

So then when you attached them here... its actually just a pointer to where on the internet your picture is stored... (a link to your picture)

Right click on one of my pictures and then click on properties (at the bottom).. it will come up with some file info including the URL address.  You will note that my URL addresses all start with http:  and end with .jpg

Then right click on yours and see the difference.

THAT BEING SAID:

Congrats on your daughter's graduation!!.  Those are indeed proud moments for any parent, seeing how hard it can be just to get your kids to like school anymore.  I wish her all the best in her next climb to achievement!
