The Lurches.....in hiding

 

  

Lester Lurch, my resident Elvis impersonator, is distraught.

 

 

 

"OMG! OMG! OMG!"

 

 

He is so distraught.....

  

 .....  ..     

.....



 he has himself...

 

 .......      

    .....  .... 

....running around in circles!

Whoops! Did he trip....or just throw himself down in despair?

  

 

Why is Lester so distraught? He just read on Rick's A Home for Dolly blog  that his relative, Lazarus Lurch, was recently paroled from The Big House! Not only that, Lazarus has made his way back to the neighborhood to reunite with his long-lost kin folk. What does that mean? Just what does that mean?  Lester does not want to be reunited with Lazarus....what to do...what to do?

 

Sometimes, when he sits in "the Thinker" position, he comes up with good ideas....

...and other times he thinks so hard he falls asleep....

and when he wakes up he wonders why he has a big bump on his head.

 

 

¡Ay, caramba! He's got it!

and grabbing his laptop, he quickly googles "hideaway cottages"......

 

 

After piling his family into the car....he starts their trip to the hideaway cottage he has rented 

in a little valley down in.....oh no, can't tell you....you might snitch to Lazarus!

 

 

Yes, it is a pink Cadillac....he is an Elvis impersonator, you know!

 

 

 

 

Lester drives west....

  

 

 

...Lester drives south....

 

 

 

 

...Lester drives east...

  

 

...thru the night....

  

 



 ....and into the woods....

 

 

 

 

and right up to their hideout...er, their hideaway cottage.

 

  

 

Everybody jumps out of the car and Lester unlocks the door.

  

 

 

 The first thing mom does is check the kitchen for supplies.

 

 

 

The first thing Lester does is check the fridge for a brewsky.

  

 

 

Looking around, Lydia wonders where the kids have disappeared to so quickly....

 

 

 

Oh, there's LaNell and Lulu playing at the picnic table...and Lyndon has jumped into the pool already. Lyndon is hoping he will be able to put his arms down soon...that was a long ride.

 

 

 

 Little Lionel pipes up, "Look daddy! I can kneel on the sofa and look out the window!"

  

 

 

 "Oh no! Oh no! If Lazarus is outside he can see us! I must do something about that!"

  

 

 

 So Lester hangs a covering over the window to the disappointment of little Lionel,

  

 

 

 but is there someone already peeking into the upstairs bedroom?

This vinyl dollhouse and furniture was made by Ideal Toy Company in 1969. 

What is rather unique about this particular vinyl house is the front door opens

 and there are also two clear vinyl windows....so the dollies can see out.
