The rest of my Bear-thday...

THANKS everyone for all the nice comments and bearthday wishes you left me. Let's see now, I was just getting to my presents and cards in my last post. Of course, in getting to them I dumped my cake. I was so anxious to get to my presents, mom said I could have another one later.

First I opened one from the guys.

My Bearthday...

Well may Bear-thday has finally arrived! YAY!!! This is the first time I am actually getting a party. You can read about why here.

My day started with a singing phone call from my grandma, this is a tradition of which I have never been the recipient. Grandma apologized saying she and grandpa wouldn't be able to attend my party. She said she'd be taking care of my grandpa, he discovered yesterday he has a case of shingles. I was confused by this, as I thought you put those on your roof, and I know for a fact that grandma doesn't allow him to go up there anymore.  That was sad news on top of the fact that my Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Pete couldn't come either.

So only bears and mom and dad came to my party. Ahh, but on with the party.

A Bear Day Wish...

I put on my party hat to attend my friend Sir Woodstock's Bear Day party.

The invitation said wear a fancy hat. I hope getting all dressed up in my suit, makes up for my hat not being so fancy.

Woodstock, I wish you many happy returns of the day on your special day! Now, where is the cake? And is it chocolate?

Things around here have become quite a mess. It's the annual transition from fall to Christmas decorations, looks like a bomb went off. Mom said no pictures till she gets things under control.

She is going to be busier than she has been the last couple of weeks. She got a new sewing machine, it embroiders. Sewing machines have taken a quantum leap since she got her last one 20 years ago. So, she is spending a lot of time learning all the bells and whistles of the machine and software. She says that teaching an old bear new tricks may take some time. Her first project is to make the grand nephew Ethan a Christmas stocking. She says when it's done I can show it to you. In the meantime...I'll keep hoping for her to make me some more cool clothes.

Grr-bye for now,
