Black Rose's Big Adventure June 27th

Well, my girl has left me for her trip to Europe.  She earned and raised the funds

needed and after a year and a half has finally boarded the plane.

Her BEST FRIEND since Kindergarten has also gone.  I do hope

that they are able to bunk together.  

Oh to see the bunch of them...........what a sight. 

Even the dog is missing her already - she had her picture taken with him prior

to leaving the house.  Excited and nervous she admitted.

First Stop - Ireland.   I can't wait to hear the stories and

to see the photos.

Have a great time my girl- you have earned it.  What a year,

one of only 4 Grade 11 students with averages over 90% in multiple subjects,

driver's license and a trip to Europe!  Wahoooooooo- sign me up.

We love you.  Be safe my friend.

Love it

A collection

POSTCARDS - I have collected since I was in Brownies. Some of you were in Brownies when you were 5 or 6 and earned badges. I started collecting postcards then. (Of course, this is not a fraction of what I have). I earned my collectors badge and just kept collecting. I have had numerous people give/send me postcards after they have traveled. I work in the Contact Centre Industry and many of my co-workers travel.
I have OLD ones (black and white) that have come from 'box lots' and from folks who are 'downsizing' and moving into apartments and such. To ones I just received this week.
I can't wait to see what Black Rose brings back from her trip to England, Ireland and Wales. She is going on a class trip in 2011. What an opportunity! I am so excited for her!!!! Her best friend (since kindergarten) is going as well. I hope they get to be room-mates (wink wink).
