Last night Lori and I headed into town for a concert at the Ford Amphitheater. Our friends Anne and Bart called with two extra tickets. The show was Grace Potter, Warren Haynes, of the Allman Brothers and Government Mule. Anne had a great spot set up on the grass with blankets and food waiting for us. It was a fun show as the amphitheater is a great venue. It’s also where graduation was. We didn’t stay for the entire show. That’s one of the great things about this place, easy in, easy out.
The GoPro Games are going on in town. Jag went in with Lexi and was home by 2am and Ty went with friends but was home at 10 as he starts work today at 7:30 this morning. When Ty made it home, he proudly showed off his new tattoo! It’s the tree of life on the inside of his left ankle. His lifelong buddy Sonny bought it for him. He and his friend Ryker each got one. It’s cool and sort of a rite of passage for some kids, good for him. Lori said she’s just thankful he didn’t get something stupid and that it wasn’t on his forearm or somewhere obvious.
Lori brought Dixie up for a while. Sadly, she’s losing it fast, almost daily. Still though, she remembers some long-term things, it’s just 5 minutes ago that messes her up.
Tonight we have friends coming for dinner. Melissa and her husband Anthony and James who is bringing a girl he just started seeing. He just started dating for the first time in 30 years and is leaving tomorrow for Europe but when I texted him yesterday he said he’d get packed during the day so he could come. I know he knows it’ll be a comfortable, safe setting for him to go out with a girl for the first time in a long time. He’s back around July 11th.
‘Great weather up here, around 90 degrees but cool at night. God Bless
