Jacket Season

Dear Liza,

It’s “Take a Jacket” season here in Portland. Though it’s not cold by any stretch of the Imagination, it may rain, probably, sometime during the day… so just take the jacket.

I walked out yesterday to mail all 200 of the “Please Remember to Vote” postcards I had filled out to send to North Carolina voters. Since I can’t send enough money to make a difference, this is how I contribute.

My reward for the walk was seeing how the neighborhood is improved with a bit of rain. Late summer zinnias are refreshed.

Also, skeletons are coming out to play as Halloween approaches. This fella is fishing with his kindergarten skeleton.…

They certainly are a welcoming bunch!

I hope Fall is lovely where you are, too.

Love,

Grandma Judy

Dear Liza,

That big skeleton we got has been inspiring all sorts of shenanigans. He’s been rocking out with my new headphones, or maybe he is studying French on Duolingo, like the rest of us.

Since he is as big as a human adult, he can sit at the table. (Looks to me like the service is pretty slow around here…)

But he did get in on all the tasty baking going on!

No such thing as too much fun.
Love,

Grandma Judy
