The Seagull and the Texas Toast

Blaugust is to many a challenge to post every day of August it seems… I am not quite energized for doing that, but I am alive and kicking today with a short sappy story that gives me life.

Its a story of how I met my wife. After an early date I received a voice memo…

I just saw a seagull… and it had the biggest piece of texas toast in its mouth. It looked so happy somehow. And thats how I feel. I feel like the seagull with the piece of texas toast after our date. I have made a drawing of this event:

The drawing remains above my desk. Then years later, when at a pottery painting venue she made this:

It always brings me joy remembering those early days. Quite the catch! May you find the Texas Toast in your life now or in the future! <3

P.S.

Vaguely related by name, is SeaGL (Seattle GNU Linux Conference)… I plan to attend! Fingers crossed I may even be speaking…
