She was selected as a top five finalist for Homecoming Queen at her community college out of a field of 15 hopefuls.
As far as homecomings go, it was different from any I have ever attended. As there is no football team at this college, it was held at the basketball game. I did not see any corsages or an alumni area and not really sure if there were alumni. There were hardly students in the ladies game.
The local title holder performed a few songs at half time and the home team gave the visitors a pretty good licking. It was all very exciting.
KitKat chose her grandfather as her escort. and there was a great deal of discussion over his attire. My ex mother in law called Julz for advice and she suggested jeans and a sport jacket and that is what Gramps settled on.
The procession made its way around the edge of the gym, with KitKat and Gramps bringing up the rear. They stood nervously as the announcer read the accomplishments of the ladies ahead of her.
When they came to KitKat's resume, they highlighted the fact that her grandfather served our country in the Vietnam war, which was met with applause, but Gramps missed his accolade.
After crowning the Homecoming Queen, they crowned the rest of her court as well, with little princess crowns.
We took a quick moment to take a few pictures, before heading out to dinner.
Granny and Gramps treated us to Rock 'n Roll Sushi, a favorite for all three of us. Granny and Gramps were new to the restaurant but no strangers to sushi. Our waitress was apparently new.
I was happy to have the same menu items as the original here in town, so ordering was easy. I love the Heart roll, baked.
We chatted and took selfies while we waited for dinner.
