This purple jacket tells a story about Josie. As it has been cold in Laie (about 68 degree Fahrenheit at night) she has been wearing it more regularly. She searched and searched on the Internet for the prefect jacket. It had to be the right color with hoodie, zipper and kaleidoscope highlights. She finally found it and used her own money to purchase it. However, when the jacket arrived it was the wrong size. She had to send it back and wait - again. When we went to the mainland for our summer vacation, she had it with her, but then on the way through Dulles Airport, she left it at the security gate. When we ate breakfast at the departure gate, she knew she had forgotten it. She and her father jumped on the funky Dulles tram/bus and went back to Security. Unfortunately, they had already sent it to Lost & Found. Josie diligently researched how she could get her jacket back. She e-mailed the appropriate Dulles office and again patiently waited for her jacket. Amazingly, the Dulles Lost & Found office located the jacket and sent it. The purple jacket is back and a revealing story emerges.
Plus, she looks so good in the jacket. Our orange tree is the backdrop and in a few weeks the oranges will be ready to squeeze into fresh juice.
