A RITIN FRUM 0LD BEAR

HERE'S A RITIN FRUM

For March 2002

Hi, Everybudy!

Hi, Evrybudy! This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin and it's hard 2 beleave it is alredy March time.

I haven't done very much xcitin since the last tyme I rote 2 U cept I got 2 go back to the JANE DOUGLAS CHAPTER, NSDAR 4 another meetin. It wusn't a meetin meetin but a patriotic program meetin put on by the Children of the American Resolution, David Pendleton Society. Here's the pages frum the Menu that told wat wus goin on.

Maybe you member I rote about going to that program last year. Well, lots of the same childruns were there this tyme and it shure wus gud 2 C sum of them agin. This is a pitcher of Miss Catherine holding me agin.

One of the patriotic things the childruns did wus tell the bigraphy of sum of the first ladies like Martha Washington and Dolly Madison and Lady Bird Johnson. Miss Catherine told all about Laura Bush.

Miss Catherine is standing in front of a couple of the projects that the childrun had done. Durin the meetin they were shown off and talked about. Here's one of the projects.

A reel interestin thing in this CAR meetin wus wen they did a flag decommissioning. Wat this wus wus showin how an old and dirty and torn up flag should be destroyed in a respectable manner. Did you know that instead of just throwin an old flag in the fire you ought to cut each stripe off the flag and say the name of the state of the Unity States that it wus for before putting it in the fire. Then wen all that is left is the blue part of the flag it is folded up real neat and put on top of the stripes. My man's gud frend Miss Elizabeth who tuk us to the meetin and nose all abowt these things sed that sumtymes each white star is cut out of the blue.

The children didn't have a real fire 2 burn the flag in but sed they wuld do it later on. It wus reel impessive 2 C how they did this flag cuttin up. Here's the childrun holdin the flag and cuttin the stripes off.

One of the entertainment things wus 3 of the girls tap dancin 2 the patriotic song Stars and Stripes forever. They did reel gud, too. You can C them doin it in this pitcher.

Here's a pitcher off all the CAR childrun that were there.

Miss Dorothy, the regent of the JANE DOUGLAS CHAPTER, NSDAR is on the left and Mr. Robert Coursey is on the right. He is the president of the CAR Senior Society. Can you see the lady holdin the litle baby?. The baby is there cus she wus jist made a CAR member.

The best part of goin to meetins at the JANE DOUGLAS CHAPTER, NSDAR is the eatin part cus they always have lots of good cookies and cake and little sandwiches and punch stuff. Here is a pitcher of the purty table and sum of the goodies.

I gotta tell you that I did sumpn else purty interestin the day of the CAR meetin. I went 2 Sunday School 4 the furst time ever. I went there with my man cus that is wear we had 2 meet Miss Eelizabeth who wus takin us to the DAR house. She is the president of this Sunday School class and I know purty many of the members cus I go to lots of their parties with my man. Mr. Noel is the teacher man and he told a reel interestin Bible story about a purty lady named Ruth frum a far away country who had 2 wurk in the fields pickin cotton and a rich man named Boaz who owned all the cotton and wus reel kind to her and Mr. Noel talked about how importunt it is 4 us 2 be kind to everybudy. It shure wus interestin.

Next month I kan tell U abowt goin 2 C the museum in Abilene.
