Just curious as to what souviners adorn the inside of Westys and Vanagons
where you live.

What holiday is recalled, trip remembered, occasion celebtared by the
glimpse of.....

In my case... there's just the one object d' art really.  A fishing fly.
An artificial lure poked into the curtain above the sink.

During the summer of 98, Moo, our westy, took us safely to my home province
of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, from our current home in Sudbury
Ontario, Canada!

While travelling to the tip of the Northern Peninsula I pulled over for a
tea break alongside a clear running river.  I grabbed one of the kids little
toy fishing poles, tossed in a line, reeled in and watched the biggest trout
in the world have a sniff at the lure!

I knew I needed a "fly" so I picked up a few in a near by town...  On the
way back past the river, we just had to stop for tea again.

Down I ran to the river with the little blue fishing pole, trout fly
attached - and cast close to the same spot as before.

Alas, no trout, but what a day and what a trip.

I remember that river, the fish and the trip fondly when I catch sight of
that fly as it waits another opportunity.

So that's mys story...   What's yous.

Happy Weekend.
