Travels with Harold

Harold is really getting excited about our upcoming trip. He’s beginning to get out the photo books and reminisce. Harold’s adventures include : a winter trip to Hawaii in 2012; Last summer’s sojourn to Nantes, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, and Angouleme, France; a few stays in Portland, OR.; somewhat local jaunts to Paso Robles and Lompoc, and his first BIG trip to London, Paris and Provence in 2010. This little stufftie gets around!

By nature, it seems, most critters use winter as a time to curl up and re-charge their batteries. But this winter, Harold is feeling restless. He didn’t get to travel this summer, and he missed it.

So what’s a stufftie to do? Harold has convinced us that we ought to shake off the shackles of a mild, sunny winter for rainy, possibly snowy,  climes. And so we are all heading off to Europe! In late December and January, we will be roaming…from Paris, through Ghent, to Amsterdam, a quick stop in Cologne, and finally, Strasbourg, before heading home.

Stay tuned to this site for our adventures..three reasonably mature adults and a stufftie, off to see Christmas in Paris and New Years Eve in Amsterdam, with a few stops along the way to eat, drink, and be merry.

Harold had a lovely summer. It was warm… He was happy and full of good cheer. Here’s a few pics from the summer of 2014…

I found Harold reading the new Squid Row book this morning… I think he likes to see himself in print. He tells me his favorite storyline is when Ryan finds the gnome when he’s unpacking from moving and he thinks it belongs to Randie… 

Wanna get your hands on a copy of Down But Not Out on Squid Row?…  Head over to Etsy…. 

I now it has been a really long time since Harold posted anything here on his site… He has been really depressed since we got back from France. He has lost weight, he hasn’t bathed for awhile…and he won’t leave the house. He even missed a trip to Paso Robles… For a while it seemed like he was coming around… He came with me to The Alternative Press Expo in San Fran… But then he slid back into his sad demeanor. The other day he finally opened up. He told me he misses France a great deal and wants to go back. I really can’t blame him. I feel the same way. So we talked it over at great length and I think he feels better. I shared our plans to not only revisit France, but to visit French-Canadian places… This made him perk up… So I convinced him to bathe, which he promises he will do, and he seems interested in leaving the house. Progress.

On this happy note, I will post photos of APE.
