Almost Time to Set Sail




Well, Golly-Gee! Can you believe it? It's almost time to set sail! I just can't contain myself, I'm so excited. In the picture, I'm checking out all of the spots Mr. & Mrs. S have visited in the past, with an eye to the places I will explore in the coming weeks. I'll report from the road, or should I say sea, soon.


Cheerio,
NG

Well, Hello!

Greetings, Friends! And welcome to my blog. Do allow me to introduce myself. I am Nittany Gnome, Mr. & Mrs. S's official traveling gnome. I am the brother of the lazy, good for nothing Deck Gnome. And yes, I am a distant cousin of that other famous gnome who also likes to travel.

I joined Mr. & Mrs. S's family in November when they returned to Happy Valley. It was love at first sight when they saw me, much like when the two of them met all those years ago. (Mrs. S tells me that it was nine years ago. Well, my goodness!)

I'll be sending you updates from my debut cruise, which is coming up rather soon. In the meantime, check back for updates on my preparations. I expect to be quite busy--I must secure a passport, luggage, and suitable cruise-wear--but I will try to keep you, my fans, apprised of my progress.

Cheerio!
Nitt
