After breakfast yesterday, I spent a lot of time wrapping and addressing two pairs of socks for my boys in Asia (one in Tokyo, one in Singapore), four Fathers Day cards (for them, my grandson, and SIL), a silly little stuffed "graduate" animal in a mortarboard for my great-grandson, and two graduation cards. Walked to the P.O. with them and found htat the ones to Asia would be $15.35 and $17.40, respectively.
Un-friggin' believable! So I dis-wrapped them, extracted and addressed the cards inside, bought stamps (dinosaur ones, since my little grandson is crazy about them, as his Daddy was and, I think, all little boys are), and sent them off. I now have these socks:
but no prob, I'll just give them to my son-in-law and Ellen's fiancee.
Bused to town after lunch. It was fun to be there, as there were lots of people, just like old times, walking the streets, sunning in the park, and--best of all--eating at restaurants, outside and in.
Stopped at a thrift store and bought three DVDs: The Godfather trilogy (the first two are great, the third terrible); Fargo, which I've always liked; and An Unfinished Life, with Robert Redford. Why in the world I bought that last, I can't imagine. I always considered Robert Redford a wooden actor and I never even heard of this movie, but oh, well.
Got home and checked my mailbox. Finally, finally, I got my Mothers Day present, which had been sent weeks before the day. It included a sweet, hand-lettered note from precious little K., plus a number of disposable face masks. They look a lot lighter and more comfortable than the ones I bought from my nephew's wife, so I'll try them out today.
I decided to attend the BLM rally today, which is sponsored by Fractured Actors, the company I appeared with in August. I made a sign that reads:
MY BI-RACIAL
GRANDCHILDREN MATTER
AND SO DID
GEORGE FLOYD
Note: Ellen asked about the picture of Larry and me I ran here before. Here's the complete one I took it from:
