Dr. Veronica Jo Mielke!

This past weekend we were in Boston to attend Roni Jo's graduation ceremony from Boston University.  She received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy degree.  However, it's not really official yet.  She still has to finish her current internship, then take the boards in July.  But, she's closer to finishing than starting!!!  She's been in school for 21 years and really isn't tired of it!  We are so proud of her and look forward to using her expertise in the coming years!!!!

Plan for the day!

Beautiful greenery and flowers adorn the stage

Roni's family gathered at the ceremony.  From back to front, Jean, grandma Jo, grandpa Jim, Paul, David and me!  Reynald is taking the photo.

And now Alicia joined the fan club!  She biked in to her work earlier, then biked over to join us for the ceremony, then biked back to work!  Definitely the quickest way to get around on a heavy Boston traffic day.

Raise a water bottle toast to the DPT class of 2015!

I'll post a few photos of our other Boston activities tomorrow.  It was a super fun weekend.  Paul and Jean hosted a wonderful evening of food and family on Saturday night, complete with betting on the horses for the running of the Preakness.  We toured historic Fenway park and attended an amazing concert at the Gardner, and enjoyed the museum beyond the music department!  Happy to be home, to the peace and quiet of Rolinco Road, recognizing that it's good to leave now and again, so that you get to come home!
