other sideDoyle Sticker: S is a girlfriend of mine going back to my Middle School days, we reconnected at our 15th High School reunion. S, her hubby M and children P & A live very close to us and it was a wonderful re-connection to make. M gave us this sticker and said "as for the sticker, no real story behind it so please feel free to make something up; just be sure to use the words "Crisco", "Long Division" and "Howler Monkey"."
The funny part about the Doyle sticker for me is that growing up in Marblehead you know pretty much from childhood who Doyle sail makers were but I always thought it was just a Marblehead thing.... I feel pretty naive thinking that today :) When L and I went on our honeymoon years ago in the Carribean we did one of those day sail trips and the boat had Doyle sales, then a few years ago we went to Bermuda and did another day sail trip and that boat also had Doyle sails - it has seemed to follow us and has become somewhat of a joke for L and me. So when M had a Doyle sailmaker sticker to offer us we were thrilled :) We were totally Howler Monkey, unfortunately we needed some Crisco to put the sticker on the VW because it was sticking in all the wrong places, so L did some quick long division and got the sticker on.... how's that M??? :)
Lowell/Listen to Live Music: J works with my husband and this is the second sticker she has given us (thank you and hi J). J and N went to hear Celtic music in Lowell and said they had an extremely enjoyable time! J said they were impressed because they found the outdoor venue to be mosquito free and the music sounded great. We were thrilled with this sticker because we feel like everyone should listen to live music :) Thank You J!
School's Open: Our friend/neighbor S was at AAA mapping out a summer vacation drive and these stickers were just there in a box, so he thought of us and took one. Thank you S - we love when people randomly think of us and grab a sticker - enjoy your trip :)
British Flag (our second international sticker): My girlfriend S from childhood has a younger sister who is seven years younger than us, so since S and my friendship started around the age of 9 I can clearly remember J as a little one in diapers :) J always held a special place in my heart, maybe because I spent ALL my time with S&J's family growing up or maybe it was just because I am an only child and J was SO DARN cute - I wanted a little sister just like her... whatever the reason doesn't matter now, J has grown into a beautiful woman who is married to a great man and lives in England with her hubby :) J wrote "I wanted to send a creative sticker, but this is all I have come up with!". Thank You for the sticker J, I'm still holding out hope that you and S will find us another sticker either from England or from one of your travels :)
