Their Eyes Follow You Where Ever You Go
As promised. The thrilling details of my vacation.
Let’s see, my mom, brother, his wife, myself, dh and ds, two good size dogs in a small three bedroom cottage that stunk of mothballs. What could possibly go wrong?
Actually, it wasn’t as bad as it sounds, the deck, dock and swimming were lovely. The view was gorgeous and except for one day of rain the weather was pretty good too. Inside the cottage, it did reek of mothballs to the point where I got headache the day it rained. Oh, I had a wisdom tooth start to come in and abscess while we were there too. That kind of sucked. (The dentists is threatening to take it out, but I’ve stalled him off to the middle of September. Maybe it will come in the rest of the way without further incident by then. Stop snickering, he said he’d have to cut bone to get it out. BONE!)
We also had some interesting companions in the living room. I guess whoever owned the place was a hunter, or taxidermist. There was a big stuffed dear head on the wall, along with some animal skins, and stuffed goose and a stuffed fox in the rafters. Very creepy. But the weirdest thing was two stuffed squirrels on a shelf in the corner.
Now, I get the whole hunter stuffing his kill–actually, I don’t really. I don’t agree with hunting at all, but that’s me. Still, I suppose I can see how someone would mount a deer head, but a squirrel? Honestly, who stuffs a squirrel. Weird.
Anyway, once I figure out how, I’ll post the pictures. So both my readers can enjoy the creepiness.
