and then I never know what to do with it. Perhaps some of it could find a new home through etsy.

I’ve had a few of these already in the past, but as I have moved on with my life I need to find a new “travel buddy.” I think etsy.com would have someone very unique for me to share my next trip with.
The first one I ever had was a chicken of some sort and very silly looking. The best photo I got was at a rest stop when the chicken wanted to sit on someone’s Harley. So we sneaked over, got the shot, and got away before the biker dude ever knew there was a stuffed chicken posing on his bike. Unfortunately the chicken had to go live somewhere else and he doesn’t travel with me anymore.
Then while backpacking in Europe I found the happiest plush mushroom toy in the whole world. Apparently it is a German custom to give a mushroom as good luck. It was fun propping him up to look out the window of the train and when ever I took him out of my bag I could not stifle a giggle because of the gigantic smile on his face.
I wonder who my next “friend” will be?
I’m waiting for my very own pair of quads with indoor/outdoor wheels to arrive shortly. Then I can get out on the street (my neighborhood is very slow on traffic and the recent back-lot conversion of a corn field turned housing development has the smoothest roads in town) and practice for free instead of paying rink fees all the time.
