#menu sign

Dear Gus & Magnus,

I didn't take a photo today, so I went digging in the archives and found this one from 13 years ago. I looked for this photo recently and couldn't find it because I thought I took it when Stanis and I first visited the abandoned Six Flags when he came down in 2010. I forgot we went back in 2011. That cafe menu he's pulling down now sits displayed in our kitchen. I forgot there were more menus. I wish we would have gotten them all.

Dad.

Dear Gus & Magnus,

Thirteen years ago, while Stanis was visiting me in New Orleans, I told him about a video I had seen about the Six Flags that got abandoned after Hurricane Katrina. We decided to go out there to explore the grounds. The place was as eerie as it seemed in that video. We walked all over it and I wanted a souvenir, so we pulled down the menu sign from one of the cafes. I've been storing it in Nene's attic for 13 years and finally pulled it down when I was up there getting down her Christmas decorations the other day.

I worried Mom wouldn't like it and wouldn't hang it up, but she cleaned it up and put it in the kitchen today, which I'm stoked about.

I also took a large, graffitied map from the log ride that I thought would make a cool piece of art, but it hasn't fared as well.

Grandpa & Tutu flew back into town this afternoon. Mom will go with them in the morning to meet the inspector at the house they made an offer on.

Dad.
