Current Goal

WOW! Holding it all Together has been resurrected. I'M SO EXCITED. The goal: to COME HOME. It's been on the road a long time and even though it's original plan was to be home by my son's graduation in May of 2008 it's BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. (see original goal below) Very sadly, the deadline for this travel bug to get back to my son has come and gone. I will wait a full year from today (7-7-8) before listing "Holding it all Together" as a lost cause. The bug has been traveling around collecting advice on clothes pins. (Dane Wesley got the DANE clothes pin in 1st grade to hold important papers.)

About This Item

march 050063.JPG

"Holding it all Together" is HOME! Thank you to everyone who added to the chain, giving your bit of advice. Even though his high school graduation is a year and a half past, the meaning of all of this is still the same. I will give the travel bug to "Dane" the next time we are together (probably Thanksgiving break). The words of advice might not mean a lot to him now, but in a few years I think the essence of this will sink in, and the touching, silly, straight-up, and wise bits of wisdom will start to be understood.
Special thanks to those who sent me the first batch of pins, to those who resurrected the bug, and to those who brought it back to Lancaster County...and of course to anyone who moved it along and added to its purpose.

This travel bug is now, officially, retired...BUT...the second son graduates in two years. I believe Holding it all Together will be out out of retirement SOON. Stay tuned!!!

Sorry, there was soooo much going on at this event that travel bugs just stayed out of the way and really didn't make an appearance.

So, I brought it back home with me. We'll do better next time.

Met this bug at the BBQ last night and I was impressed with the advice I read on one pin. Since I didn't get to keep it I'd like to send you my pin to add with your others. Good Luck Dane!

I picked up this traveller this evening on my way home from work. I'll take it to a BBQ event this evening to meet some other nice cachers.
