Up in Smoke
Back from all my traveling around and exhausted. My trip home didn’t go as well as planned (one of my parent’s businesses burned to the ground while I was home). Sadly I stored all my belongings that weren’t essential to bring to Vancouver in that building. One thing that I lost that meant a lot to me were clay magnets that I had collected on my travels. I was collecting them to put on the fridge of my first place of my own. I was actually going to bring them back with me to Vancouver, but I hadn’t went and got them before the building burned down.
So this is a call out to all my podcast listeners for your help. If you are going to, or live in, any of these cities could you pick up a clay magnet for me? They need to have the name of the city (or country) on them. If you do pick one up let me know and I will send you my address. I would love to rebuild my collection. It would mean a lot to me to be able to replace these as a lot of the items that I lost were irreplaceable (pictures, race medals/bibs etc).
Thanks in advance for your help. You guys are wonderful!
Clay magnets I lost:
Washington, DC, United States/ Jamaica/ London, England/ Edinburough, Scotland/ York, England/ Oxford, England/ Ypres, Belgium/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands/ Berlin, Germany/ Munich, Germany/ Heidelburg, Germany/ Salzburg, Austria/ Vienna, Austria/ Prague, Czech Republic /Venice, Italy/ Florence, Italy/ Vatican City/ Rome, Italy/ Nice, France/ Paris, France /Lucerne, Switzerland/ San Salvador, El Salvador
These are samples of a couple magnets that I do have, so you get an idea of what I’m looking for.
These are a few pictures of the fire.
My parent’s house is behind all that smoke.
The next day. You can see my parent’s house behind the rubble.
This is the view from my parents porch. It was that close.
