I’d be gone for weeks and</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">presto</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">I’d come home with hoards of beautiful things,</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">priceless</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">trinkets that I’d acquired? Well, I’m guessing my time with this group has robbed my fingers of their stealth and nimbleness! I just need to practice more! Practice makes perfect, after all!</span></p> …</div>Carmie PTue, 02 Aug 2016 14:16:33 -0400https://ilderantales.igloocommunities.com/campaigns/justthetip/reflections/vani/practice_makes_perfectRemember the shanties by the seahttps://ilderantales.igloocommunities.com/campaigns/justthetip/reflections/vani/remember_the_shanties_by_the_sea<div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mani!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We sang shanties to sleep last night. It called the others to us, the music too beautiful to resist!  It reminds me of how I used to sing you to sleep in the cove. I hope you're not missing me to much my dear little manta ray!! I asked a few friends to check on you, have they? I hope they have, I really didn't expect to be away this long. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">…</span></p></div>Carmie PWed, 25 May 2016 17:30:02 -0400https://ilderantales.igloocommunities.com/campaigns/justthetip/reflections/vani/remember_the_shanties_by_the_seaTehehehehehee!!!!!!!!!!!!https://ilderantales.igloocommunities.com/campaigns/justthetip/reflections/vani/tehehehehehee<div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teeehehehehe!

Again, my impulsivity, perhaps my naivety has led us harm. At our new home, one of our neighbours warned me to not listen to the box. Of course, when working on a job, I find a box. A beautiful box… a</span> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">magical</span></i> <span style="font-weight: 400;">box.
