spring 2024 graduation 馬祖

Felix's exam scores were so good that Rulin Cram School offered a term of free math and English courses. He took the senior high school entrance exam on May 18th and 19th and graduated from junior high on June 4. He performed Julius Klengel Cello Concertino No.1 in C Major, Op.7 Allegro at Soochow University at the end of June. My dad traveled north from Kaohsiung to see him perform.

We bought a Maple Leaf 201 full size violin for $28000 on May 18 and had Felix's cello repaired for $14000.

We did our 15^th camping trip with my junior high classmate and her friends at 回薌庭露營區, Hsinchu on the first weekend of June. Because of the occasional rain, it's rare to be cool in June at an altitude of 650m! I slept well at night.

Regis took first place in both final exams and overall term grades in his class, and graduated with the Speaker's Award! My mom came for his graduation and stayed with us for 4 days. We went hiking on the Chengtian Temple Trail on Sunday afternoon. After graduation until the end of June, Regis has swimming lessons every Tuesday evening.

Felix went on a 3-day graduation trip in mid-June.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, we went on a trip to Yilan with my parents, brother and sister's family and visited my little uncle at his restaurant.

I stopped taking Diovan in June. My blood pressure looks fine.
