The Venezuelan Box....
While the movers were frantically running around the house randomly selecting goods to throw into a box....... I found this move hilarious....
1. They movers labeled nothing.. so any labels are my best effort to follow the movers around and label one item I might have seen. There are things in each box from each room...
2. the movers in an effort to be trendy with the "green" movement recycled boxes.... I had boxes from all over the states and the world with all kinds of names and tape......
Now while I am one for adventure I have to say I am worried about all of my stuff arriving in one place...and not Venezuela... for example.....
this box puzzled me.. it became the topic of many phone conversations and chats amongst my friends.... it is certainly an "exotic" box..... and something different....
I often sat and thought "who moves from Venezuela to Germany?" " this person has to be crazy"... however I have moved all over the US and people probably think the same of me... and after all we moved from the US to Germany...so "why not"......
Then I have to say the anthropologist side of me came out I wanted to meet these people ask questions catch up share experiences.....
Then worry came back would my stuff go to Venezuela or make it to the states???
The dwelling in possibility Heather shined through and I thought " why not" what fun to think about where the box had come..and if it would continue it's journeys around the world.....
I may have to have a contest now that the Venezuelan box has become so famous and talked about... as to who I will mail it too....
Yes.... when our house hold goods arrive..... and if this box has made it to our house.... I will open up a post... you will have to leave a comment I will have the kids draw a number and my Venezuelan box can continue it's journey... I will even put a goodie from Texas inside.....
Who knows my famous Venezuelan box might end up with a blog of it's own.....
OH maybe I will have you make up a story about where you would take the box or use it for....
It is fun to dwell in possibility and to think a simple box could start it all.......
Inspiration can come from so many unlikely places......
