Default HS Graduation

Hi, I normally lurk here, my girls being mostly grown now. My youngest graduates this year...probably this month. She has expressly asked NOT to have a party for her graduation. Do you have any ideas what we might do to create a memorable day...in the good sense?

Jean

How about her fav. meal and dessert, take some special pics to mark the special day, present her with a special gift and just generally let her know how proud you are of her.
