I just wanted to extend my congratulations on graduating culinary school to my fellow Doper-In-Arms, co-worker, and very good friend Heloise. She’ll be walking up on stage tomorrow morning to get her diploma for finishing her course of study from the Le Cordon Bleu program, and let me tell you folks, I’m proud of her!
I myself graduated from the same program two years ago, and I know personally how challenging going to school can be.
I’m so glad you made it through! I knew you could do it!
I’ll just make sure I bring my camera tomorrow, so I can get a picture of you in your whites!
Really?? The Heloise, daughter of The Heloise? Oh, my golly gosh. Somebody dust the mantel. Where did I put my congratulatin’ shoes? Hey, Sue Mae! Aw, never mind. She’ll never believe this…
Dagnabbit, JavaMaven, you stole my thunder! I’ll never live it down that I didn’t start this thread - and I was going to, honest!
Congratulations, Heloise! I already knew you were a fantastic cook - now you’ve got the paperwork to prove it. Unfortunately, I can’t see the graduation ceremony. But let’s hope we’ll raise a glass or two to your diploma real soon.
