Yesterday DD and I went to a garage sale that was selling the collector spoons from each state. She picked Alaska because we went there last summer, North Carolina because DH's brother lives there, South Dakota because DH goes hunting there and Connecticut because her stuffed bat, Batty, went there for a visit.
She is still talking about her bat going on vacation to Connecticut. Thank you again for sending it to her. |

That still does my heart good. It was so no skin off my nose and I'm really glad it made her so happy.

It's sweet stories like these that kept me lurking at 2peas for 13 years.

I don't know anything about living in the US other than from watching TV and listening to Peas talk about their areas. One thing I did learn though is Connecticut "seems" like a fabulous place to live. But anywhere you have roots may seem like a wonderful place.
I have family who love living in Winnipeg. They love it there and would never leave.

It was 2 maybe 3 years ago my DD went to spend a week with her Grandparents. When she got home her favorite bat was not to be found. Grandma looked at her house and could not find it. I posted on the board asking why kids get attached to toys that are difficult if not impossible to replace or something close to that. The bat was a Beanie Baby and of course it could not be found. Peabay said that they had one and she sent it to DD. DD was thrilled to get "Batty" back and still wonders how he got all the way to Connecticut.

What a sweet story. My DGD has a blanky thing with a lamb 's head on it. White. She loved, loved, loved Lambie. The head came off several times and was sewn back on. She lost it one time. Thank goodness it was found because you could not find one like it AT ALL. Believe me I tried. Anyway, Lambie is still around on her bed and she is almost 8. Lambie is also now a dark gray.  |
