So maybe I’m the one who’s nutsy. I mean, call me crazy. But I don’t think I could live in this house. Not every day, I mean. But just visiting this place? Wow!!! It’s beyond just awesome or whatever words you want to say. This house I was telling you about last week? The Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale, right? It’s just so wild. Listen to this.
There was this guy way, way back in history. Like, even before my dad was born. I think it was almost 100 years ago. His name was Frederic Bartlett. And he was totally rich. And he was an artist too. Ya know, he painted paintings and everything. So then he was like wild in love with this woman, Evelyn. She was an artist too. And they got married and made this house just for fun. They lived there and just added new nutsy things all the time.
What about striped gold-and-white wallpaper covering the walls of a big room? With huge old mirrors and white statues on the fireplace and everything else? Pretty funny looking. And that’s nothing. Because they also painted pictures on the ceilings! It sounds like I’m making this up but I’m not. They painted turtles and fish and seashells and stuff right on the ceiling! And then, in this one place, they stuck a giraffe in the corner! Not a real giraffe – duh! But a huge fake giraffe, standing there below all these fish on the ceiling. See? I told you it was nutsy! But so totally cool too!
Dad and Juliette and I took a tour of this place. Oh yeah, that’s right. I almost forgot. Spencer was there too! I guess I’d like to forget that Juliette’s brother came with us! Haha! Anyway, this nice old tour guide lady walked us all over the house. She told us everything there is to know about the Bartlett people and their house. It was a house built out of love! Because they spent lots of time together, painting the rooms and ceilings and decorating. They went swimming in the ocean every night together. They had parties and invited over all their friends. They were like totally, totally in love with each other. And they loved this house too.
Our lady guide told us they kept making one room look wild. Then they’d do another room, hanging masks on the walls. Or strange, wild paintings. Like this big painting of old guys with long beards and really tall weird hats. I remember that painting for sure! I guess they were pretty lucky, huh? I mean, if I stop and think about it. They had lots of fun in their life and lived in a nutso funny house. And they really really loved each other.
And they loved their monkeys! Remember, I told you last week about the wild animals? Well, guess what? Those wild animals include wild little monkeys! They are so totally, totally cute and adorable! I want one!!! (I said that to Dad. He just said, “NO!” Guess not, huh?) Anyway, next week, I’ll make my blog about the monkeys and tell you all about that. Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys hanging everywhere! Jumping through the trees. Hanging by their tails. Right here in Fort Lauderdale! I have to admit – this is a pretty cool place to live. Or visit! See ya next week, ok? Bye!!
