Graduation Jolie is our fourth grandchild; Will and Stacey’s baby. She is beautiful, funny, smart, and has the undeniable ability to drive everyone around her crazy. Stacey says she’s just like me, so I guess that means some good and some bad and some I-don’t-know-what-to-do-with-you. She turned 18 in February, graduated Friday, and is ready
