How’s it hanging as August marches on? I got sick around Sunday, but I’m mostly fine now, just a cold. I spent a few days sitting in bed and doing nothing. What have you been up to? Anything fun?
My friend Emily (our technically-half-sister) is coming over for a sleepover today. Next weekend I’ll go over to her house. There’s something called the lantern festival that we’ll be going to tonight — there are a lot of things like that on Vashon that I think you’d like. Just town get-togethers for people to walk around and talk.
By the way, I think Olympic gymnastics ended over the weekend? What did you think? I think they did that one girl on beam a little dirty, since she was the only one who didn’t fall off and she got bronze. I wonder if you were watching too and what you were thinking. Imagine if we were little now — the Simone Biles Netflix show would be our Gabby Douglas movie.
Again, and as it often is, I haven’t much to talk about this time around. I’m just here so you know I’m here. I love you. I’ll tell you about the festival this coming Friday — Mom made a mouse-shaped lantern.
With love,
Alice
