Josie's Holiday

Monday was a holiday and Mama got to stay home! We wore our straw hats and walked up to see Meema and Grumpy.

There was a box turtle!

Meema said maybe she was looking for a place to lay some eggs.

There was a surprise for me in The Room-- a fort for me and some of my friends were having a tea party in it. 

They invited me to the party. 

I am good at pouring.

We went out on the deck and Mama cut Meema's hair some.

I watched. I think I could do it next time.

I told Meema she had to be very still and not talk.

Then we had lunch. There was cheese and broccoli quiche but Grumpy's piece was called cheese pie. This is a joke I don't understand. Meema said it was because of a saying that real men don't eat quiche. 

Grownups are sometimes silly.

Mama and I went home for my nap but when Daddy got home, we all went back up the mountain because it was Family Dinner Up night and Grumpy was making pizza.

I played in my fort some more and then Meema told me to come outside and look at the funny rainbow. It was hardly in the sky at all.

We had supper and then I had a bath and ran around the living room like a wild thing.  Grumpy said I was buck nekkid. Then I got my pajamas on and did acrobatics on the sofa till Mama and Daddy were tired and had to go home.

It was a very good holiday.
