for everyone
you remember that part in Amelie where she gets her flight attendant friend to take her dads garden knome out and she takes photos of it all around the world? well. let me tell you something.

 i come home from work today and there is my great grandmas garden knome (that i inherited from her a few years ago) sitting perched on my front stoop with a little sandwich baggy in his arm with some photos inside. i look at him and say, "and what have you been up to little man?" i picked him up and took the photos out of his arm as i put him back on his car-port window perch. i went inside and had a look at the photos. ahhh. i couldn't believe it. i laughed and laughed and then i laughed some more. and then i clapped alittle and laughed again. there in his arm was a wack of photos of him traveling in holland and most notably amsterdam.

Well Im glad you enjoyed that. It took me awhile to find the right gnome. Then I walked by your house one night and seen Natty, yah I named your gnome. I thought out of all the gnomes in town you would appreciate it the most. I went to Amsterdam by myself so me and the gnome hung out all the time. I was in a rush to go to Lethbridge so I think I missed a couple of pics, but I will post them all on here later.

i wondered if you named him. "natty" is much better than "knomey".

Yah I was leaving a club after it was closing with Natty in hand and started talking to a couple of people. They thought it was hiilarious that I was partying with a gnome. They asked me what his name was and the first thing I saw was a neon sign that read "Naughty girls" So I went to say naughty but I had too many beers and it came out Natty. It just kind of stuck after that.

wow. :) you must have been so perplexed! i honestly thought you knew who it was the whole time and were just making it into a better story than it actually was, but yours is legit!

awesome!

can you post the photos in a bigger album once you have all of them as its hard to see them so small! i want to see where natty travelled!
