After a long and winding three month journey, my lawn gnome is now home. Along with him he had a small Trollfjorden pack from IKEA that is just his size! Inside was a bunch of treats and trinkets such as a brochure from Niagara Cave, an Alien, smashed pennies, one of them from the Spam museum and a bunch of other things that mark various parts of his travels. Wow, what a treat. Speaking of treats, he had some Cloetta Kexchoklad and he let me have two of them. Quite yummy!
Everyone asks me if I know who was helping the gnome in his travels. Honestly I don’t have any proof. What I do have though, is a large footprint from one of his fellow travelers and check out who takes photos with a Kodak EasyShare Z730 in Minneapolis and posts on Flickr. Looks like my lawn gnome and primarily one other person. My gnome hasn’t said a word, though. Also, those gnomes that showed up behind my house? I think they’re unrelated! I have yet to introduce them to my lawn gnome on the other side of my house.
Either way, regardless of who’s responsible for helping out, my gnome and his friends got a fantastic three month journey and I’m very glad he’s home.
