Miss Havisham, the early years.

You're silly.

You're just so SILLY!

Now come with me. I have a surprise...

This way!


Hop in. This is George. We've got a long road ahead of us. I've stocked the carriage with blankets and feed. It's important that we remain hydrated and alert.


Hang a left, Molly! It's a cobblestone hill, so you'll have to peddle faster.


See it? Right there! Hop in the canoe, at once. We haven't got time to waste!


Almost there. It's just up ahead. PLEASE. You've been so good up until now. Don't spoil it, Frances!


Now, you see that? Just a few paces more. We've come all this way. Soon there will be respite.


THEY'RE HERE! Barbara, Louellen, Uncle Giocommo! They're HERE! Fred, break out the bugle.


Willkommen, and have a cupcake. In just a few moments, we'll be playing hopscotch on the veranda. I've set aside some tennies for you, Frances. And a unicorn. He's made of rainbow frosting, and his name is Gary. Come, come!

Wee little one scooped up here. Everything else: the amazing photographer, Paul Costello.

Love how you've made a story from his photographs! You know - I would never have guessed they were mostly from the same person. So cool!

Fantastic, you have such a great imagination (and slightly twisted. I like it!)

Great trip! Wish I was on it instead of going to work!
On that note...I have my first meeting tomorrow with a developer who owns three restaurants and is looking for someone to do freelance marketing/PR. This could be the start of my own home business! Keep your fingers crossed!
