So Bad, It’s Good
For some wacky reason, I’ve had several people email me with ideas for Bumblebee this week.
Perhaps you’re all trying to tell me something?
My brother (who you can read about here and here) probably wasn’t thinking Bumblebee when he sent this, but I couldn’t resist sharing the photo of the redneck mansion he sent.
In a weird kind of way, I find this a rather stylish assemblage. I mean, there was some real thought to form and function. Umbrellas, a greenhouse, a pond, windmill and even seating. And you know how important I find seating.
I wonder if the flowers are real, plastic or silk?

I am laughing out loud at this one and am sending it to my architect son. I love it! And I think he’ll get a kick out of it as well. Thanks for brightening my day, as always. And yes, the burning question is whether or not those flowers are real.

They just don’t build ‘em like they used to, do they?

Oh gosh, well they are well painted. Is that a small greenhouse under the orange one?

Someone put alot of thought into that! Is that a pond or a swimming pool? I must admit I’m jealous of their little greenhouse!

I have to share this with a friend who thinks she will retire to a trailer at the lake. She would love this set up.

What a fantastic creation! Thanks so much for sharing! I wonder if the folks who live there are all related??

I’m my gosh - I LOVE THIS! I’ll start on my own tomorrow. (My husband is looking at me horrified.)

I had a couple people send this to me as well. It actually looks surprisingly substantial.

I…I…I think this redneck mansion is totally awesome.
