A new face and a bear

Say hello to Mary

Mary is new to our group and like the song George M. Cohan, sweet and old-fashioned. She did go to the Ohio Redoubt to visit, however, and Der Bingle reports she has been hanging out with Alien Poo, who is introducing her to “new attitudes” aboard the Mother Ship. We shall see how this turns out. Heaven help us if she returns and starts calling herself Marie.

And here is our polar bear who Summer believes looks more like a mouse. I found the box and it definitely says “BEAR”. I got him a couple of years ago a few days before Christmas when he was on a mega-sale. It was an impulse action . . . but he seemed to be calling my name. This year was a little traumatic – I had to stabilize his head on his body with floral wire. Oh, that was probably too much information.

He is supposed to be a lawn ornament, but we keep him inside – Do you know how windy it can get here?? Besides, he’s a good conversationalist, full of stories about life at the North Pole and elves and reindeer . . . and the Big Guy himself.

  1. They put the wrong head in the box at the factory unless it’s frankenbear… almost has a baby seal look about it.. but in the words of Festus; ” he looks like a nice feller”
