Can You Believe It’s Been A YEAR!?

WOW – Can you believe it’s been one year since my little international pet rock Bashful started traveling the world?  It seems like he’s been doing it forever but it’s been one year – 365 days today – that he boarded his first flight and took off to parts unknown.  He’s become such a little explorer!

And don’t worry folks if you signed up to host my little rock, you are on a waiting list.  I keep up with.  If you want to be put on the waiting list, shoot me over an email at baconthompson@gmail.com

And for those that have been following his adventures everywhere in the world, do you remember his first place that he visited?

Oh, you want a hint huh?  Okay.  Do you recognize this butt from anyone?  Snorts.

Snorts – oinks – squeals.  I couldn’t resist.  My little Bashful’s very first trip was to see Easy in France.  Do you remember this picture of his adventure?

He has been all over the world traveling, racking up airline miles, having wonderful adventures, meeting new people and bringing smiles to the world.  Thank you so much my friends for showing my little tyke a great time and being part of these experiences!

 

And He’s Off Again

We had a wonderful LONG weekend here with the rock clan.  We all got together and had a Bon Voyage party for Bashful.  He is now off again to parts unknown.  Where or where will that little rock of mine roll up to next?

Could it be here?  Could it be there?  In the states or across the pond?  On the other side of the world?  I’m not telling.  Nope.  I’m keeping a secret.  There’s nothing you can do to make me talk.  Nope.  Not at all.  My piggy lips are sealed.  Only two other people know.. well maybe three.  Mommy, the nice Mr. Postman guy and the host family.  And none of them are talking either.  Anyone want to take a guess?

Soon…. we shall know hopefully soon.

And you should have seen all of the girls here crying over Bashful.  Princess Coralena, Virginia, Rockelle and Koishi.  I’m not sure which one was crying the most!

UPDATE:  Mom always sends off Bashful at the post office closest to her worky place.  I want you to know that the staff there now truly knows that mom is certifiable and should be wearing a white jacket that buttons in the back.  They have been inquiring about the boxes that she sends off.  She told them today what was actually in the boxes.  You should have seen the looks on their faces – PRICELESS.  I mean truly PRICELESS.  The response of, “You have a what that you do what with?” and “Girl, you need a hobby.”

These were said in fun and mom just laughed it all off smiling.  Then she threw in the icing on the cake.  She told them that the rock wasn’t actually hers, it was mine… a pig.  Oh dear piggy heavens.  Daddy laughed and said he was surprised that they didn’t pick up the phone right there and then.

But it’s not weird.  My pet rock travels.  He’s good at it and has a lot of great and giving friends that like to host him and show him a good time.  Shakes piggy head.  I don’t see anything wrong with that.  Do you?  Snorts.
