As I watched the egg and bacon cook for my breakfast, I looked at the tent with a rental car parked beside it. We arrived late last night and still had the car to unpack. We were traveling from another country, so we had to keep our passports handy at all times in case we were asked to present them at the border.
I finished my breakfast, my anticipation growing as I reached for the pile of books. The one on top, with its intriguing body outline, was a clear sign of a mystery, a genre that always keeps me on the edge of my seat. The cover, adorned with a piece of filmstrip and the promising words ‘coming soon to a theater near you, ‘heightened my excitement. I couldn’t wait to see how the movie would bring this captivating story to life and how different it would be from the book.My daughter, Candy, stumbled out of the tent with her box of crayons and coloring book. She was ready to start coloring, but I had to talk her into breakfast first. She finally agreed to a bowl of cereal and milk. Once she was finished, I got out the aerosol can of sunscreen and applied it liberally to her body so she wouldn’t get burnt when we headed over to the lake for the morning.
