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!!!

I actually grabbed this bug from Parrot's Perch (GCJKQ9), not Top O' Tarantula. So I will Drop him back off there and grab him so he can log his miles correctly!!! Very cool idea for a bug!

Picked it up from Top 'O Tarantula Two (GC2D65).
It was getting a bit too big for most cache boxes so I replaced 11 of the pins with a log sheet and am sending the pins back to the owner.
Dropped it off at Parrots Perch 7/31/05 after the SF Marathon.
