Every (good) Thief...

...Wishes to be Caught!

Ok, so its not MY idea (thanks Amelia!) but it sure has been fun... This little guy, once successfully kidnapped from my Grandma's garden last year, has been a blast to tote around this crazy big world. Though not always been easy to keep him on his "M' Saltines-n-Guinness diet" (like the nutty Koalas and their fussy insistence on Eucalyptus leaves (and Twinkies)), this wayward gnome of hers makes the most surreal of travelogue models, a perfect accent to any photo that would otherwise be just too cliche' (Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Kremlin, Nameste'ing Ronald at Bangkok McDonalds....and other such destination standbys).

One day one of my family will actually visit this nutty photo-driven digital rant of mine and, I am hoping, tell my beloved Grandma about this silly testament of my devotion to her smiles, our joy in making her giggle.
