We don't get dressed up very often and I eschew wearing ties, so this is a rare photo, taken at my grandfather's funeral in Tulare. See earlier posts for photos of Ale with her great-grandfather. Funerals by their nature have sad overtones but this occasion was as much an opportunity to celebrate all of the wonders and joys of the 96 years of my grandfather's life. Though she will not remember meeting "Great Grandpa Joe", I look forward to telling Ale about him when she is older. On the wall behind us is a picture of my grandmother who passed away 3 years ago.

Ale checks her email, posts to her blog, and watches some clips from "A Bug's Life" on Youtube...
