If a Woodchuck Would Chuck Wood

instead of my plants!!

groundhog-7910

This stinkin’ groundhog is eating all of my plants!

groundhog-7919

He is stripping them bare, the little stinker.

groundhog-7912

Here he is munching on my lavender! Get. Out. Of. My. Lavender!!

groundhog-7918

My poor little flowers. Gone, all gone. Except for…

groundhog-7914

This handful of blooms that SuperGuy was able to save for me.

Anyone want a woodchuck? I’ve got one I’m willing to part with…

Danger!

Warning! I’m finally making a blog post! (Sorry, I went out of town to the lakehouse with SuperGuy. Didn’t get posts up before we left, and there is no internet down there. Shocking, I know!)

We worked on a lot of chores while we were there.

We replaced the doors to the shed. Yes, my sons, the ones that came off in your hands when you were down there on the 4th of July. We notice the nice job you did of nailing them back together. Unfortunately, when SuperGuy went to open the doors when we got there…they just disintegrated. Oh, boy! A trip to the toy store hardware store!

Two days later, and a lot of discussions with my engineer father…WE completed these doors to the shed.

Well, I took a bit of time off from the chores. I was very busy shopping at the outlet mall taking my mom to run errands. If SuperGuy is going to be busy this week one morning, I’ll show you what I scored what I considered buying but since I’m such a good person, I didn’t buy. (She lied.)

Where, oh, where to vacation?? Help Me!

So, as you know, SuperGuy and I usually vacation in September. Just the two of us. It’s a slower time of year for him.

So…we were going to go to Gulf Shores and rent a house on the beach. Actually, the Fort Morgan Peninsula. Quiet. Out of the way. Yeah, that’s not looking so good, now is it? And SuperGuy couldn’t fish there. What I’m really surprised is that places are still asking top dollar for places there. I don’t get it.

So we went to The Outer Banks last year. Liked it, but what I really didn’t like was not being able to see the shoreline. I love to watch the waves crash on the beach. But there are dunes everywhere that block the shoreline. You can’t even see the ocean when you drive along the coast. We couldn’t even see the waves break from the 3rd floor balcony of the house we rented. Oh, we had a great time, it was really reasonable, but now we’re looking for something new. We love to drive. We love sleepy little not much to do places. Right on the beach.

Do you have any suggestions? Especially not on the gulf coast. We’re looking into St. Augustine, and some of the South Carolina beaches. Do you have any suggestions?? Of course you do! Help us!
