Ticket

A piece of paper or card that give the holder a certain right, usually to enter a place. Show us a 'ticket' in your space today.



These are some tickets I saved from my last trip overseas in 1999. Tickets are usually just little slips of paper. Yet it is amazing what memories they can conjure up - another time and place.

Cheat alert since I didn't actually take these photos. I am the person you see in the first photo just about to jump out of a plane though. In the one below I am the one without the mustache with the really big smile. I made my jump on December 20th a number of years ago. It was a clear and beautiful day but very brisk. I remember how cold my mouth felt from the cold air. But I still couldn't keep from smiling. I was flying!





This last photo is after the parachute had been opened. It is an amazing experience to soar above the ground in this fashion.

These photos date back to when my daughters were only 5 months old. (Oct 2006)

Badge

Insignia to advertise, show membership of or make a statement with. Have you got a badge?



This is my traveling backpack. During my travels I would try to buy a patch from each country I visited and sometimes a patch of a particular region or city if it held a particular significance to me and then sew it onto my pack. Wonder when I'll get the chance to add a new patch to it. It might be awhile.

Jar

A wide-mouthed container made of glass or pot to contain food. Show us a 'jar' in your space.

We came across this gathering of Tipis in Colorado a few years ago. It was so picturesque and kind of made you feel as if you had traveled back in time. I did a little research later on and discovered there is a company called Earthworks based in Colorado that builds and sells tipis and yurts. They are amazing structures and can be a lot more plush inside than you would ever imagine. Click here if you would like more information. They also include some stunning photographs of their own.

There is something so special at how a child can look at an object. This is my daughter Maya inspecting a flower.
