Giant Red Footed Monster

I got creeped out today.  Not an every day occurrence.  I am usually fairly unflappable.  I am the one that strangers talk to without encouragement.  I am the one who is accepting and welcoming and approachable.  But I am also the one who got creeped out today.  And by what???  I guess what would be more accurate would be by whom???  Well, let me tell you.

I was getting our delicious dinner of turkey lasagna, caprese salad and brussel sprouts prepared and there was a shadow moving outside the kitchen windows that caught my eye. With further observation I discovered it was yet another utility person outside marking their territory, so to speak.  We are getting our deck redone and the construction dude said he hoped to start it next week so this week I have had at least 5 different men in the back yard marking lines.  Well today this guy was with who knows which utility but he was there a looooonnnngggg time.  Walking back and forth.  Walking forth and back.  All outside the kitchen window.   The other guys came, planted their little flags, made their little paint marks and went without me even seeing them.  This guy lingered.  A little too long.  And then he went to his truck and got a camera.  And proceeded to take pictures .  Now I am assuming he was taking pictures of where he left his big red splotches but I am not sure.  Now I am starting to get worried.  What if he was really a monster masquerading as a utility man? What if he marked his territory and is going to return later ?  What if…..Perhaps I should stop taking this sinus medicine.  I think I am getting loopy.

 

Make sure you come back tomorrow!!!   It’s a celebration!!!

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
