living vicariously

Collectively, human beings have an obligation to share experiences. Teaching, entertaining, provoking. It is why we read, watch, listen, learn;   experiencing what we ourselves have not. Alternately, is that not why we create?

Tracy B. is set for a fabulous trip to Italy, then sailing on to Croatia. How awesome is that? To encourage her to share every acceptable experience with us, I have sent my first creature child out into the world. Her name is Adriana.  I will be observing her experiences from afar. The newly expanded Borders family is living  in Washington, and will be traveling to Europe this spring. I eagerly anticipate all that they will  see, and what I will be privileged to see through their eyes.

So far Adriana is being treated to lovely sites and fun experiences that can be followed on Tracy’s blog; I hope you join me in watching her life unfold. I would love to make it a requirement that all my future creatures share their lives with us all.(What do you say Fannie? are you game?)

To show my appreciation, we created the above personalized ceramic dish for Tracy. I hope she likes it and puts it to good use.
