Goodnight Bush

by Jennifer on June 6, 2008

You heard it here first. This is the coffee table book of the year. My friend Ms. W sent me the link to this, and I’m quite sure I won’t be able to resist buying it.

If you click on the image, it will take you to GoodnightBush.com, where you can take a look inside the first few pages (to turn the page, click and drag the corner of the cover and subsequent pages after you go to Take a Look Inside).

Make sure you look at all the objects in the room and outside the window.

It’s time to announce the winner of the latest giveaway, a copy of A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. I used our super-sophisticated award selection process (closing my eyes and picking a slip of paper from a box), and the winner is…

CCE (her blog is Mad Marriage)! Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy the book.

(CCE, I will email you to work out shipping details.)

____________________________________________

Here at the House of H, we’re mulling over the last details of The Big, Final, No-Turning-Back Decision about where to move. The story might even have a surprise ending, so I hope you’re all comfortable there on the edges of your seats. (I’m on the edge of mine, for sure…) I should have some news to share soon.

I’ve also realized that it’s long past time to finish packing, but I will still check in with everyone when I can’t stand the sight of bubble wrap (or junk from under the kids beds) anymore and need a break.

I’m pretty good at balancing at the edge of seats, but don’t leave me here too long; my butt falls asleep!

Goodnight Bush – AMEN!!

I can’t wait to hear where you all are moving – maybe it will be close to me. I read several blogs where the ladies and their families are moving and I always hope they are moving close to me – I’m not sure why.

Have a good day – Kellan

Coming from someone who has read Goodnight Moon more than 10,000 times… I can say with great authority that Goodnight Bush looks much better! Thanks for sharing. Hiliarious.

Congrats to CCE. Meh.

Oh. And the edge of my seat isn’t that comfortable, but I’ll wait if I have to. Of course, you always have my email if you want to break the news to me early…

What a great book..It is definitely heirloom quality reading!

Moving, I loathe moving. Well, unless it was to a charming new house, with no mature cottonwoods in the backyard.
