Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

Flamingo House


The house we rented for our beach vacation is called the Flamingo House - by our family and I'm sure by others. It used to have weathered pink shingles, but they were recently replaced with grey aluminum siding. The interior is still loaded with flamingos of every kind - large paint by numbers, flamingo mugs, plates, pillows, lamps - you name it. A good rainy day kid activity is counting flamingos - but we were lucky to have none of those days this time. We used to rent this house every summer but haven't been back for awhile and I had forgotten how many flamingos Joie de Vivre had contributed - in the photo above, the jack in the box and the wooden flip toy, and a standing wooden flamingo puzzle to name just a few. It was fun to see them - (and yes, I brought some more to add to the flock this year!)
