A Break From the Heat

Dear Liza,

It has been getting really hot in Portland lately, so we decided to take a break. We made reservations and headed for the cool, foggy Oregon coast!

A couple of long walks along Cannon Beach got us relaxed and re-hydrated. It was so cool and beautiful. Windy, too!

Bridgett’s hair blew like crazy, and I ended up chasing my hat for a long time as it tumbled, just like Claes Oldenburg’s “Hat in Three Stages of Landing.”

The fog made everything mysterious and delightfully murky. On an early morning walk, I heard the breakers half a mile before I saw them.

Needless to say, I enjoyed myself!

I’ll tell you all about where we stayed tomorrow.

Love,

Grandma Judy
