Gramma

Gramma Seals died this past weekend at age 84. She was born 7/21/24.

Going to miss her. I spoke at her funeral as did Bub, UK and Micah. There were many tears but it was a good chance to see a lot of my relatives that I hadn’t seen in years (since Grandpa Seals died in 1987).

I flew in to Orlando the night before she died, the girls flew down that next day from Chicago (visiting there for 2.5 weeks). Then we all drove up to TN, picking up Maggie in Atlanta who is traveling around the country right now (but primarily staying with us).

I will miss Gramma, but it is better for her daughters now – she was requiring a lot of constant attention from them at the end and it was very tiring for them.

Ricky the Raccoon

We have a raccoon “problem” here. They found a way to get to the cat room we have. They are so comfortable with it that the other night after the concert I came in to find the raccoon sleeping on the chair in the cat room. I snapped a few pix of him as he left (but he kept turning around to see if I was going to do something evil). The cats are totally unfazed by him. The girls have named him Ricky.

Jesus & Mary Chain concert

Elsa and I got a rare chance to go to a concert. We saw the Jesus and
Mary Chain at the Showbox. I liked the show and venue a lot.
For at least three pix, for some reason my timing was terrible (or impeccable depending on how you look at it) and I got the pics right as the lights were flashing bright so it looks like
the stage was exploding. See below.

Monti’s Cruise Ship

Monti was collecting wood in the woods tonight on a hike. She is building a cruise ship. Not to be confused with an Ark, she says I’m the captain, she’s the cruise director, etc. Everyone has a job, including all her friends. I asked what the name of the ship is and she says it’s the NarniaSpiderWickChroniclesIndianaJones. I suppose you should thrown an SS in front of that or maybe an HMS.

She says she needs a lot of steel as well.

Monti:”Dad can you do that thing you do and do it in Talus”
me:”?????”
M:” You know, selling and stuff”
me:”????”
M:” You know – go see customers ”
She wanted me to go through Talus and sell tickets to people for the cruise… like I do with my Apple customers.
