Lynnie's Red Coat

On days when the wind isn't too strong, Lynnie walks to the Post Office at the other end of the village.















She's in her 90's now, and the red color helps make sure that drivers see her.

When she sees me, she'll stop and ask the same two questions: "How are the girls?" and then, "How's school?"


The only day she doesn't go to the PO is Sunday, when she walks to church instead. She wears her long wool coat then. It's red, too.
