This was my world last week...attending the graduation of my daughter’s middle son, Willy, from Saint Andrews School in Middletown, Delaware, on Friday. Gene, Eloise, and I drove up on Thursday, and then we drove back to Lexington on Saturday to spend the Memorial Day weekend on the creek. My daughter’s older son, Crenshaw, graduated from Saint Andrews two years ago. The campus is beautiful and reminds me so much of Oxford. The following is a series of pictures of the buildings and a bit of the graduation.
Clock Tower
I just love the 2012 banner hanging there
in all of its glory!
Staff Housing
Entrance to the school.
The Lake
The Chapel ~ Scenes in the movie "Dead Poet’s Society" were filmed in this chapel.
Graduation Seating
Piper piping for the graduates’ procession. Two years ago when my eldest grandchild graduated there were 5 or 6 bagpipers piping, but this year there was only one and he did one great job!

The Happy Graduate
Here are the cousins:
Crenshaw (2010 graduate), Henry (10th grader at St. James School in Hagerstown, MD, Willy (this year’s graduate), and Eloise ( age 7).
A Happy Willy
Last but not least...here is the family. It was one beautiful day for a graduation.
