It’s hard to believe that Sweet Guy will start his junior year of high school next week. I haven’t blogged much this summer because I made the intentional decision to live each day, love each moment and create many long-lasting memories. Tomorrow his crew of friends is coming over for an end of summer movie party. I think I’ll create an ice cream shake bar. Here are a few other great Saturday Smiles Lazy Days of Summer ideas.
Saturday Smiles Lazy Days of Summer
I keep forgetting that I want to make some driftwood sailboats. Perhaps when I walk the beach in the south of France in a few weeks I will find the perfect pieces of wood.
Jackie O’s Summer Retreat
This 19th-century log cabin was renovated in the 1980’s by famed designer Bunny Melon. She created it as a retreat for her dear friend, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It was recently updated and FULL of summer charm.
A Unique Summer Vacation
The Open Book is a bookstore in Wigtown, Scotland. It offers a vacation experience unlike any other. Over the bookstore is an apartment that’s rentable by the week. The rental also comes with the keys to the store, a cash box and a chance to run the shop. It seems that it’s been a magical experience for many. It is booked through 2021 since that is as far as Airbnb will take reservations. But there is also a waiting list after that.
Because Summer Should Be Fun
Summer is, of course, the #1 time to sell a home. But how can your listing stand out? Go see what I consider the BEST real estate photos of all time.
I hope your week is full of fun!

Sounds like a wonderful summer! Hope the party goes well! I loved the bookstore and real estate links!
It’s hard to believe summer is over. Of course we will still have hot weather for a while. Wishing Sweet Guy the best in his new year at school. An ice cream party sound like great fun.
The dinosaur…HAHAHAHA!
I love these posts, Laura! I can’t believe Sweet Guy is getting so old—is that the wrong word? And how is the Fashionista doing? Wow, we go back a long way.
I’m dying over the dinosaur!!

Thanks for the Scottish bookstore article. I passed it on to a friend who will now dream of doing just such a thing.
Love this post and had a great laugh over the dinosaur. Have a great week, Laura!
I hope your son has a wonderful school year!
I feel like a good portion of my summer has been robbed by the this shoulder injury. I struggle daily though there are good times mixed in too. It’s just not what I would have chose to have happened, you know? But God has been my faithful companion throughout and keeps cheering me onward.
It’s funny, the sweet little driftwood sailboats – I made something similar a few years ago and never even saw the idea – just came up with it. Guess I’m not so lost on creativity after all, LOL. 🙂 Anyways – those are much cuter than what I created and I will keep those for a future beach craft.
Wouldn’t it be fun to stay at The Open Book? There was such a wonderful article in the NYTimes about it that I was ready to pack my bags! Oh, those years go so fast. Savor those last two with him at home!
