Hi, everybudy!
This is Old Bear ritin 2 U the furst time in the year of
2thousand and 3. I wunder wat xciting things me and my man will du
this year. He says it will be xciting enuf 4 him jist keepin out of
the hospital. We don't know 4 shure wat kind of trips we'll get 2 du
but my man sez he is pury shure we'll be goin 2 Nu York City again but
don't no wen it will be.
Du you member wen I rote 2 tell U abowt going to Illinois 2
go 2 Samantha's wedding? Well, she is still married to Mr. Andy and has
been sittin on a front porch swing that we got them for a weddin presunt.
We didn't rap it like a Christmus present with purty paper and a ribbon
but jist sent them the money to buy it . Sam's momma sent us a pitcher
of them sittin on it sew we culd see wat the swing luked like but my man
lost it.
Samantha sent us a Christmas letter and she sed that she sure wus
glad that we culd cum to the wedding and she likes being married to Mr.
Andy and she likes her job of teachin 7th graders even if it is a lot
of work. She sent us sum more pitchers that the pitcher taker lady
tuk and the pitcher at the top of the page is one of them. Here are sum others
that I lyked real gud.
I wonder if Samantha has had a hard tyme lernin her nu name -
Mrs. Albert. Du U no that there is a speshul song about wear she and
Andy live now. It is Home In Indiana.
You all have a real gud Happy Nu Year.
