IT'S ABOUT ME, MY BOYS AND A LITTLE CRAFTING THROWN INTO THE MIX!
Ever get the feeling that someone (or something) might be in your space or watching you? You can’t necessarily see them, but you just feel it?
I had that sensation the other day while napping. I opened my eyes and could see Charlie’s chin.
Oh My! As you can see she was sitting RIGHT beside me…just waiting for me to open my eyes. Kind of Creepy, Charlie!
We got back from vacation on Tuesday night, so of course, a nap was a given on Wednesday! While we are on vacation, Charlie goes to the local boarding place where she has doggie-daycare during the day, which wipes her out. So she was up for a nap too.
I just wasn’t expecting her to snuggle so close for her nap!
She laid on top of me, which wasn’t comfortable for either one of us, and slid down to my right side and. was. out. cold.
I like to think someone missed me very much and just wasn’t extremely tired from her vacation antics!
I’m back from our family vacation which was to Hilton Head Island…more to come on that later this week.
Today I want to share with you something we did before vacation….
Oh, yes we did! All four of us went, we absolutely loved it and hope we can see it again in the future. But, let me share a little funny on that night…
Yes, all four of us went, but as you can see, there are only three of us in the picture! Jason wanted to get some drinks and there was a photo op station, so the boys and I took advantage of the opportunity.
Jack checked out the picture and said (excuse his language),
“Jeepers! I wouldn’t look so dang short if you didn’t wear your freaking heels!” 
WOW, Jack! I did wear a little heel, but I guess even 2″ makes him a crabby teenager! (Even though he has grown 1/2″ in the last month)
So he took care of the situation by going back and getting a picture by himself. (and to post on instagram..I guess a family picture is not cool for instagram.)
He has always been our little independent problem solver!
Taking next week off to enjoy some summer time with the family!
See you on July 16th!
The other day, Sam and Jack went out for breakfast together. I soon received a text showing what they had ordered!
Holy breakfast!!
Did they eat it all …absolutely not. Good thing I wasn’t home for the
sugar-high to hit!
Can you tell what event Jack will get experiencing soon?
You got it…braces!! Not sure when he will officially have them on, but my guess is before school begins.
His cute smile will be even cuter!! 😁
How did you all survive the heat last week? Poor Charlie. She was sooo hot while WE floated in the pool. Mr. Jason took care of the situation that afternoon by going out and purchasing her own baby pool!!
She was extremely happy…can you tell! 😊
I just finished the book
The Haunting of Hill House
by Shirley Jackson
Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a “haunting”; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
Oh Golly…this is an old story (first published in 1959), but so creepy! It takes a bit for the story to get going due to the four characters getting to know each other and the author taking us through those conversations. I must admit at times I got confused to what was going on, but I think that is exactly what the Jackson wanted you to feel while reading…not sure who is joking, being serious and what is a genuine feeling. I would have to say, the house is another character in the story due to having its own agenda. Unfortunately, the last third of the book stalls out. There’s a lot of talk, but not much happens and then it is wrapped up.
I wanted to give this book higher than 3 stars, it started out as a 4 and slowly went down hill and “talked” me out of more stars.
I am giving this book 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Do you have your fourth of July outfit ready?
The boys do and are ready to do some celebrating!
Have a fun and safe Fourth!
