Home away from home

My friend over at Bighill noticed that I have a rock from Nova Scotia on my desk. It's true - I have a lot of reminders of wonderful people and good times on my desk, so I can remember what's important at work.

Here are a few of my favourite things (cue music)...

My new rock from Nova Scotia that vaguely looks like an island.

And another yellow rock from the rock store that my son gave me when he was little.

And a rubber pink animal that my son gave me when he was even littler. It's missing a tail from swinging it around so much.

And a seed pod from a Sweet Gum tree that I found in the hallway. These trees grow in middle America - so how did it get to Toronto? Another mystery of life!

Am I the only grown up who collects strange things and still feels like a six year old at heart?
