One of my nieces received her J.D. from Stanford this weekend

Thought of going but I know she and her hubby would prefer a trip to Jamaica later in the year

I watched the commencement -they sure had fun -Bloomberg spoke.

She wanted to be an attorney at four when the sister below me graduated
Really proud of her.
