Bow Tie o’ the Day and Suzanne and I spent part of our long Juneteenth weekend at a baby shower, which was held at her sister Janita’s house. I feel welcome in any of Suzanne’s sibling’s homes, but for reasons you can easily behold in these selfies, I feel most at home at Janita’s. It’s the taxidermied-animals-on-the-walls decor there that makes it feel so much like my parents’ house: my kidhood home. After years of Mom wanting Dad to build her a family room, he finally built it for her after he returned from his triumphant Alaska hunting adventure—when he needed a high-ceilinged room to show off his taxidermied Alaskan beasts.🐻🦌🐾
