For JANUARY 2003




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.
