HI! My name is Freida the Traveling Gnome. I have been visiting my friends Gnomer and Bob here at the Bluepaintred household. And Trust me,  should you ever get the chance to visit here, DO IT IN THE SUMMER. Sure the mosquitoes are as big as I am, but at least it is warm!

While I was here, I did a lot of really cool things with the bluepaintred Family. I loved visiting with them all, and I hate that I have to leave tomorrow - well. I won’t miss the dog. She kept sniffing at my little plastic butt. I have never been thankful I don’t squeak before, It was quite a…unique …experience!

I helped Blue make cookies! Please note the guys standing there acting like they had a part in making the cookies. Truth is, they were watching TV while Blue and I did all the work. Take note men : Just becuase you taste tested the batter does not mean you were instrumental in making the cookies!

I did not like using Blue’s mixer. I had to have a bath shortly after this photo was snapped! And molasses is NOT easy to clean off!

And why aren’t there any Gnome sized knives to be found? Have you any idea how hard it was to work this knife and not cut off a foot? Y’all should be damn proud I am going home with all four limbs!

Blue has some great kids. A bit rough at times, and always noisy, but did enjoy going with Blue Boy to his Show and Share day in kindergarten. I was a hit with all of the kids. The guys were worried I wouldn’t be able to speak enough Canadian, so they came with me! I had the most fun during arts and craft time when the class got a chance to draw a picture of Me and the Boys!

Of course Teh Baby, Stuperman, is a movie fanatic, so a lot of snowy afternoons were passed sitting on the couch watching movies.

I spent the first week of my stay relaxing with Blue and her family, but on the eighth day Blue decided to make me earn my keep. She set me to matching socks - and man! Do they have a lot of socks!

I didn’t mind the underwear folding as much, In fact I came away a bit jealous of all the sweet lacy bits Blue has. Damn this plastic butt of mine!

All in all, my trip to Canada was a wonderful experience! I’m going to miss Gnomer and Bob, But they swore they would write. (And Bob promised to sneak onto the webcam late at night *wink*) As much as I will miss everyone here, I will not miss the snow.
