The Story of the Traveling Peas

The peas, the peas. Where to begin? Well, the peas began as a childhood toy for Chris, Eric and Mike. Then when Eric and Mike were in high school the peas found their way from storage in the basement to one of their bedrooms, and began their adventure as the traveling peas. Mike and Eric passed them back and forth, hiding the peas in each other's bedrooms, until someone got sick of them and mailed them to Chris at college. Chris held onto the peas for awhile, but eventually mailed them to his cousin Allison while she was studying abroad in Australia. The peas have become world travelers. They journeyed with Mike through Europe and came with Chris and I to Ghana. We mailed them to Liz's little boy, Johnny, from Africa. Then last week a very special package came from Liz, John, Johnny and Heidi in Michigan...

  2. I remember when Mike and Eric were throwing the peas between their bedrooms and decided to send them to Chris. The peas have been around the world and more. I am so glad you got them back!
