HERE'S A RITIN FRUM

For JULY 2003


Hi, everybudy! This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin and I've got sum sorta bad nus 2 talk abowt this tyme. No, nobody is sic or anything like that. It is jist that I am reel disappointed that we won't be goin to Arkansas lyke I told U we wuld be doin. The reason we aren't goin is that there had 2 be at least 30 peoples signin up 2 go and 4 sum reason there weren't near that many. Sew my man sed we wuld jist have 2 du sumpn else with our money and go to Arkansas some other tyme.

I shure wanted to go to Arkansas cus I lyke 2 take trips but December, wen we r goin 2 Nu York City is going 2 be cumming pretty soon so I guess I can wait 4 that.

I got to thinkin abowt all the places I've been and peoples I've net and I guess I've been pretty lucky cus sum teddy bears jist always stay at home. My man takes me most everywhere he goes. Here's a few memory pitchers that are in my head.

Here I am getting ready to cum back home frum Mexico.

We were in Guadalajara4 2 weeks while my man studied how 2 talk Spanish. I had a good tyme at the Calinda Hotel cus the people who wurked there lyked to play.

I have met sum real interesting peoples at the places we have gone and one of the most interesting wus this purty lady I met in Salem, Massachusetts wen we went to Boston.

One of the purtiest places I've been is to the Hudson River Valley in New York.

I guess there were maybe 40 of us and we got 2 see all kinds of famous places and houses built by real rich peoples. And we got 2 take a boat ryde on the Hudson River.

I've been to Spain with my man 2 times and I shure want 2 go back there sum tyme. The last time I was there I got to go from Spain to Morocco on a ferry boat and this wus fun . Here's one of the nyce ladys goin on the boat with us.

She wus a preacher lady and wus on a trip with sum other preacher ladies.

We got 2 stay all night in Tangiers and visited a place called the Casbah. Here are a couple of picshures of me and Tangier peoples.

Another place I visited wen I wus in Spain wus Gibralter that is hooked on to Spain but belongs to Englund. Here's my man and me sittin in a plaza (that's Spanish talk for 'square') with some other 'turistas'.

I don't have enuf ritin rum 2 show you many memory pitchers. Most I have rote abowt in my man's magazine. Like the tyme in the museum in Chicago I disappeared and he thought I had been bearnapped cus he culdn't find me. That sure taught him not to leave me alone on a table in a restaurant. Another memory time was wen we were coming home from Tucson and a man on the bus wanted to take me home to his granddaughter. My man almost had a fight with him.

I shure have lots of gud memory pitchers in my head but I guess the one I like best is goin 2 Ilnoyze on the Amtrak last year and gettin dressed up in my tuxedo to go to Samantha's wedding. She shure did luk purty.



Yes, I shure am disppointed we aren't going to Arkansas.
