Okay...you may be wondering how this got the name "Traveling Moo Cow." Here's the story:At Amy's wedding, Amy wanted to include a sentimental gift in with her gift to Kenton and Alison as a thanks for all of their hard work spearheading the reception. Amy and I brainstormed fun childhood memories and thought of the Moo-Cow creamer. She did what anyone would do, googled it, and found one online. When Kenton saw it, it sparked off the old debate about who has all the good stuff of Grandma Moon's and the general consensus was that Kristen had all the good stuff, including the Moo-Cow Creamer. After the late night conversation at Kristen and Mike's, Maddy, Jon and Kenton were chatting when Maddy piped up that she knew where the "real one" was. There remains some discrepancy about who was the culprit in making the switch, but by Sunday morning, Grandma's was safely hidden in Kenton's car and the imposter was at home in the Barn. It was decided that the Moo-Cow would have to be recovered by a trip to Kenton's house by Kristen and family and then it would travel to a new home. When a visit is made to that house, that cousin (aunt, uncle, niece, etc.) would then have to travel to a new location to visit another member of the family. I suggest we include a travel log inside the creamer to keep track of where it will go next. Will it end up with Julie? Or Stacy? How about Chuck? Maybe Brian. Kenton's got it now...where will it go next?
PS I'm sure that there's another "version" of this story. Feel free to post your version here.
PPS Following the excitement of the imposter Moo-Cow, Julie and family decided to name their little homeless kitty that they decided to adopt from Kansas Moo-Cow. Is the name going to stick?

OK, so now I have to get a ticket and go rescue 'MOO COW' from the east coast! Should I fly, ride the train or better yet, spend 19 hours on the road with Mike?! I wanted to thank all of you for your hard work and the time you gave up from jobs and responsibilities to come and spend time in our 'quaint, retro kitchen'!
See someone very soon....Love, Krissy
Maybe we can make our own movie,"The Story of the Traveling Moo-Cow?" I'm sure it would be good for a few laughs!
By the way, Kristen, don't you think its funny a 16 year old boy knows what a "retro kitchen" is? It's always great spending time in yours!!!

I'm so glad that Moo is doing well! :) That's great...he just needed a little TLC! :)
I had nothing to do, physically, with the moo-cow swap! There were other forces at work that nite, some closer to home than you might think- I may have mentioned something about it but did not take part - that is my story and I'm sticking to it. Krissy-P at least you still have grandmas falseys (sp) I don't think anyone would want to "grab" those from ya! - Jon
