Gran

For reasons that are beyond my understanding, one of my mom's best friends is fondly referred to as Grandma Ovals. I am not sure what is so ovular about her, but her preference for blush-coloured clothing, wearing sensible, supportive shoes (runners) with jeans or dress pants, and deep appreciation for doily-inspired clothing may have something to do with it. Apparently, when she gets her nails done, she has them shaped in ovals and selects "grandma-ey" colours like dusty rose, soft corral, neutral-ecru-frosted-beige-pastel-taupe. In any case, I finally got to meet her and despite her deep fear and general dislike for children, I think we got along pretty well.

Dear Granny Vicky,

Welcome back to the coast, third grandma. Super happy to have you here. You made an excellent burp cloth the other day.

                      

Love, Felix
