I have approximately 40 gazillion things I could/should be doing
instead. And another 40 gazillion things I should blog about before
this, but, to be totally honest, I'm deeply tired. And today is not
going to be one that gets noted in the annals of exceptional
productivity. So, I'm just going to post this collage of me visiting the same statue in Brienz, Switzerland for the fourth time in my life.  |
| 1975: my Dad was stationed in the Army in Germany and this was taken on a little roadtrip my parents went on 1987: I was 14 and this was the first trip overseas (besides when we'd lived there). We camped and drove through Europe 2016: the first time we brought our family to Europe 2025: a C family reunion in the Alps |
Never mind the cutoff numbers on a couple of the years in the collage. I'm too tired to care, and if you think I've been alive since 987, then YAY to me for figuring out this whole long-livedness thing. I look pretty average for a 50-something year old, but I look dang amazing for someone who's over 1000 years old!
I note with a touch of sadness, that my Dad would have been the biggest fan of this collage! I did not grow up in a wealthy home, but my Dad knocked his socks off to make sure us kids were exposed to other cultures. That meant that he saved his frequent flyer miles from his business trips for many years to save up enough points to take us overseas when I was 14, where we camped the whole way through Europe. He was so excited to recreate that photo in 1987 and he still remembered exactly where the statue was. When we took our family for our first overseas trip in 2016 (besides Spence's Make-a-Wish trip the year before), he very excitedly explained to us exactly where to find the statue again. It was one of my brothers who noticed we would be close to Brienz on our most recent trip....thereby making this a perfectly squared collage.
See here for my 2016 blogpost about it and stay tuned for the other 40 gazillion things I need to blog about...
