Last Saturday we went down to Flint to witness the pinning of Shannon becoming a 
RN. Shannon is my brother's daughter who went back to college to get a nursing degree. The ceremony took place at Riverside Tabernacle Church. Shan stood up in front of everyone and did a reading and they had a slide show of the students. The nurses were upstairs in the balcony and they all carried a candle and came down the stairs on each side of the room to the traditional graduation song. An interesting part of the day was when we discovered not only Shan was getting her pin but someone we knew from our past was getting a pin also. When we moved to Rogers City back in the day.... our next door neighbors were the Cornett Family. They had a daughter, Jill who used to babysit our kids. Her daughter Amy was in Shan's class and they were friends but didn't know the connection until Saturday at the pinning. I (Denise) walked int
o the church and ran right into Amy's grandma Lamb who I've known for years. I asked her what she was doing there and she said she had a granddaughter getting pinned. In fact she was pinning her because she was also a nurse. Shannon and Amy had no idea that Amy used to live next door to us here in Rogers City. It was a bonus to see Amy get pinned. She was the youngest student getting her pin. She is just a little younger than Logan. Logan used to play with Amy and her sister Jenny when they were little. What a small world. After the pinning ceremony we went back to Uncle Dave's & Aunt Deb's to play some cards until the party started. The party was at a small hall and Aunt Deb Dunsmore was the cook. Lots to eat and fun was had by all. The best part of the evening was when Aunt Deb Dunsmore did Karaoke. She was pretty good when she was being serious. Then she started to sing gospel and with her hands high, praised the Lord. Needless to say, at that point she got a little carried away. Kim would have appreciated it from remembering her at our 50th birthday party. So the moral of the story if you're sick give... NURSE Shanny a call!!
