HERE'S A RITIN FRUM

FOR FEBRUARY 2000



Here's wat tyme it is wear I live:


Hi, Everybudy!

This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin and alredy it will be February when U get to reed this ritin. February is Happy Valumtymes Day month, you know. Sew I'm sayin HAPPY VALUMTYME DAY 2 u and playin U the song named FUNNY VALUMTYME. Are you goin 2 du sumpn romanticul on this speshul day? My man sez he is goin 2 take a gud frend to a purty romantical eatin playce with sum other peples cept it won't be on Valumtyme's Day, but purty close 2 it. Maybe U kan send a BEE MY VALUMTYME card 2 sumone U lyke reel gud.

How du U lyke that pitcher of me wearin my nu Valumtyme's Day red & white sweater & cap? Miss Elizabeth made it 4 me with sumpn kalled nittin. Nittin is wen you take 2 chopstik things kalled nittin needles and use them 2 pick up sumpn kalled yarn and then du sumpn kalled nittin & purlin with the yarn. It sounds sort of hard but I guess Miss Elizabeth new jist how 2 du it cus it didn't take her very long 2 du the nittin. I guess maybe the China peples invented nittin sew they culd use their chopstiks wen they weren't eatin with them. I shure du lyke my nu sweater and cap.

My man tuk it with a nu ditchital kamra that he bot himself cus Sandy Klaws didn't bring him one lyke he asked. He wus jist practicin with it wen he tuk this pitcher and he says maybe later on he'll get better at takin this kind of pitcher. He tuk sum other practice pitchers of a reel gud frend and she didn't lyke wat they luked lyke very gud. Sew he sed he wuld practice on me sum more. He tuk sum pitchers of the clips of the moon back in January but I guess the moon wus 2 far away cus all he got wus a little circle and sum tree branches. Here's a couple that he tuk.

This nu ditchital kamra is almost lyke magic cus the pitchers stay inside the kamra and U kan't get them out until you hook up the kamra to the kompewter and push a couple of buttons and the pitchers somehow get into the kompweter and then U kan make them go away frum the kamra or keep them 4 later on. There is a little pitcher window on the bak of this ditchital kamra and wen my man tuk the pitcher of me I culd see wat it luked like through the window. It sure is a smart kamra. Course there is always a problum with these reel smart things. If my man wants 2 give his gud frend the pitcher he has 2 figger out how 2 print it out on his printin machine. Seems lyke it wuld be easier 2 use the kamra that takes the pitcher and then pushes it rite out of the kamra.

It's sorta hard 2 du a ritin wen there hasn't been anything xcitin 2 rite abowt. I haven't been on no trips for a purty long tyme and it don't much luk lyke I will be goin on one until September wen we go to Spain. Did I tell you why we R goin 2 Spain agin? Maybe I did but I'll tell U agin. U C, wen we were on a 2er in Spain 2 years ago one of the towns that we stopped in for a little while was named sumpn like Mijas and my man lyked this little town reel well so he bot me a pretty pin that said Mijas on it. Well, sumwear in my travels the part of the pin that had Mijas on it fell off and got losted. So why we are going back to Spain is so my man can get me another Mijas pin. He says where we will be stayin on the Costa del Sol is goin 2 be purty close 2 Mijas.

My man did say that we are 4 shure probly goin 2 visit my gramma and my Aunt Mary and my Uncle Jerry in Ilnoyze. He sez that if he plans it rite we can go on that visit 4 a little wile and then go bak to Chikago and go on another Elderhostel thing. It would be sort of like wat we did in Alaska last year cept we wuld spend a week in a big Museum place in Chikago instead of walkin around in the mud. This is the museum that my man lykes reel well and it has a coal mine inside it and a submarine and a zephyr train lyke my man saw wen he wus a little boy and big lectric train and 2 airplaynes hangin frum the sealing. I shure hope we get 2 go there.

I jist thot of sumpn purty xcitin 2 tell U cept maybe my man will get mad at me if I do. Anyway, my man has been havin sum sort of a problem for a purty long tyme and the problem is that once in a while wen he is eatin, speshully wen he is in a fancy restaurant eatin, he gets the hik-cups and then purty soon starts throwin up everything he wus eatin. He says it is bad enuf 2 do that when he is eatin here at home by himself but it sure is barrisin 2 du it wen eatin with other peples. Well, the same gud frend who didn't lyke the pitchers he tuk of her with the ditchital kamra sed he shuld go see the doctor man and he lykes her reel gud sew he sed he guessed he wuld.

Well, the doctor man sed I guess you better go 2 the hospitul and get sum pitchers tuk of your stumuk so that is wat my man did and the pitcher takin man at the hospitul made him take of his close and drink sum bad tastin stuff and lay on his stumuk on a table that went up and down and then lay on his side and on his bak and he sed it wus sorta fun cept 4 drinkin the bad tastin stuff. He sed he felt lyke he wus trainin 2 be a asternaut man. Well, the pitcher takin man must have sent the pitchers to the doctor cus purty soon he kalled my man and sed, yep, U shure du have a problum and you are goin 2 be havin hik-cups and throwin up your food.

Sew now my man nose wat is wrong and nose 2 be more kareful wen he is eatin cus the doctor man sed maybe he shuld try chewin his food once in a wile.

I guess U no that here in January in Dallas, Texus it has been almost lyke summer tyme. We hardly never ever get snow down hear lyke my gramma and aunt Mary du in Ilnoyze but we shure don't expect 2 go round with hardly no close on in January. Things shure R gettin funny.
