MOD Nostalgia

   I've been feeling very nostalgic about Molly & McGee since we started 2013. Maybe it was the realization that three years had gone by since it all began. Maybe it was the first year without them in anyway to watch or get updates from Carlos . But whatever the case I have felt the need to cling to those precious moments in time, to gather them all close to me, and to somehow keep them in a special place I can go to whenever I need to remember. Some of you know I am just a tad bit addicted to Pinterest and so it seemed natural to keep them there. I originally started with just one M & M board but it has now become three, One for M & M, one for the kidz, and one I call All Things Molly and McGee. And I just can't pin enough of them. Every Vacadude cartoon or captioned photo or MOD paraphernalia a treasure I must hold onto.
   And so it was in Jan. when someone mentioned that Eric Blehm would be soon closing his Molly The Owl online store that I immediately went over to look again. He and Carlos had put together some wonderful items such as those fabulous coffee table books I love. But I hadn't ever purchased the Molly the Owl book as I had no little ones around. With high hopes of someday having a Grand-baby I decided I must get it. So I placed the order. Then early in February my boyfriend asked what I would like for Valentines Day and once again I went back to check the store. I had always wanted that Glowz charm as spiders fascinate me so I ordered it. The orders went through but I didn't hear anything so I sent Eric an email. He replied that he was closing the store but since he knew me from previous orders he was trying to locate the items to send me. I let him know how much I appreciated it and then he asked if I had any of the other charms. I told him no and he said he was including something extra in my package. So I waited in anticipation of it's arrival. And when it came to my amazement he had given me three other charms, Tauntz, I Love Molly & Molly along with the bracelet. He also gave me both of those neat pop-up cards. I was thrilled to say the least to receive all these extra's. Now Eric has officially closed the store & I have these treasures to hold onto and a book for a future MOD. And so time goes on but I hold onto the nostalgia of what once was as I go forward with what will be. Peace*Love*Community, a constant that I hope will last forever, thank you MOD's for being a part of it.
