Merci Climbs A Tree

Hi Everyone! Hope you all survived the holidays and are making the most of a New Year! Today my adventure (having survived hiking, exploring furniture, leaping around the beach, and keeping after all those over due books…) revolves around my tree climbing ability. So there we are, walking around outside and Cam sees this tree… “Hey Merci, I have an idea! Climb that tree and I’ll take your picture!” Hmmmm that seems interesting, I thought, sure, why not! Well the fork in that tree was about 7 feet off the ground in sand bur infested beach vegetation. We somehow manage to get to the base of the tree, stopping every 2 steps to pull the sand burs out of our toes, and now are looking up trying to figure out how to get IN the tree. Cam finally lifted me up to a point I could grab hold and climb the rest of the way up. You have NO idea how glad I was that no one was taking pictures of that or my image of Merci the Graceful would have been shattered. Hope you like the sacrifices I go through for you guys! Hehehehe Ohhhhhh and another thing…. If any of you contributors haven’t been to the VW Bulletin Board for contributors (Contributors Hangout) I hope you stop by. We are starting to think of a new project like the VW Yearbook and would love to have more people play with us:0) Shhhhhhhh It’s a secret though…. Have a great Day!
