Dear Liza,
I think I am really just a big kid. When things get ugly or stressful, I need to laugh. I need to play.
Years ago, Auntie Bridgett and I made little voodoo dolls to send home with guests at a Halloween party. The leftovers became part of our regular decorations. This year, one got a change in hairstyle and a long red tie to become ….. well…. The Buffoon.
I posted his photo on Facebook and some folks complained that the pins weren’t working! So I am giving The Buffoon some ‘adventures’. Basically, I am playing with my doll….. making things as uncomfortable as possible for him.
Like I did when I was a kid, I looked around the house to see what I could play with. I realized that Halloween images are mostly things that can kill you, so there were lots of options!
Halloween decorations are good, of course. But we also have fearsome yard gnomes.
I am not done yet! I am feeling very crafty, and will tell you more about The Buffoon’s adventures as we approach that special day in early November.
Meanwhile, play, laugh, and vote, vote, vote! We will all get through this.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
