My grandson asked me to include watermelon in my garden this year. Kind of a dud as we’re in NJ, but we cut the last one open this week, and it was red & edible!

Took my theater-kid grandson to see The Addams Family national tour last night. Surprised him with the cast party after it. Show was great. Performers couldn’t have been nicer to him.
