Pivoting ex politico, here's one of my amazing aunt, about whom I've written before. I knew she'd been a crazy fan of the Portland Timbers soccer team (I supplied the Oregon Museum of History some memorabilia for an exhibit on the team, which included a special section honoring Moomump), but I didn't know they'd actually made a poster of her. For that matter, I didn't know they saw a round of timber off a log after every goal scored; and I especially didn't know that she'd sawed off the very first one.

Dr. S: I enjoyed reading about your Aunt (from the 2008 post) and the bit about the Timbers (never heard of them; the only 'football' round here is Steelers).
ReplyDeleteMoonmump was an independent woman, my favorite kind. Thanks for sharing the photo of your sunset--when politics gets you down--go out and look at that!
