While I have joined millions of Americans who make daily use of a Kindle, I also have a modest collection of children’s books housed on the bottom shelf in my office for easy access. As a new foster mother to a voracious reader, it is a great joy to share my love of literature and it is “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel,” first published in 1939, that caught my attention this week.
Things got “curiouser and curiouser” at Carla’s Shear Inspiration as employees dressed up as characters from “Alice in Wonderland” for Halloween and for a good cause. Along with a significant amount of food donated by clients, employees and passersby, the business raised $1,000 for Oak Harbor and Coupeville food banks in two days.

Whidbey Island Quakers have a new name. “Whidbey Island Friends,” as the group is now called, shows its closer ties to regional and national Quaker groups, organizers said.
I usually move kicking and screaming into pumpkin season, for I adore the moderate days that characterize Whidbey summers. I love exploring beaches and eating crab out on our picnic table. The long days contribute to my level of energy and enthusiasm. Even moving about is easy. Light sweaters and flip flops replace my waterproof jacket, scarves, and boots.
