Mr. Bones, Horsing Around

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

Getting Spooky

Dear Liza,

It was a perfect Fall day Sunday, so Auntie Bridgett and I walked out to see the sights.

We found a whole bunch of Halloween-y yards! Just above Laurelhurst Park, this cheerful skeleton welcomes you to his graveyard. My favorite headstone reads, “I Told You I Was Sick.”

As we headed north across Burnside, we nearly a dozen or so inflated decorations all in one yard! This dragon had a tiny motor that made his wings flap. Very cool.

These three witches (Thanks, Mr. Macbeth!) looked more friendly than scary, as did their bulldog.

But the detached giant hand? Definitely creepy.
Ditto the eyeball-stealing ghost.

And there, keeping an eye on everything, was this OSU baseball rooting skeleton.

I love that everyone is getting an early start on Halloween decorations! It gives us more time to find them all.

Love,

Grandma Judy
