Hi, everybudy!
This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin and I'm sorta disappointed cus we arent goin to
Little Rock in Arkansas to see Mr. President Clinton's library like I sed we were goin 2
du. The trip wus cancelled cus not enuf peoples wanted to go. I shure wus countin on
goin there but I guess it's okay cuz I've'e already been a lot pf places.
One of the playces I got 2 go 2 wus Memphis in Tennessee and we went to a reel
fancy hotel and watched ducks come down an elevator and hurry up to get to a pool of
water. I also got to go to where Mr. Elvis Presley used to live and see his house and
one of his cars and sum other things. Another reel interestin playce in Memphis is Mud
Island where I got 2 see a real famous airplayne called the Memphis Bell. A man who
used to fly those big bomber airplaynes is telling me all about flyin in the war.
Me and my man went 2 Boston once and saw a lot of the sites like this big navy boat
and a navy lady who wus in charge of it and told us all about it. Then we got on a train
and went to a town named Salem to see where the old timey witches lived.
Guess wat.
While we were in Salem I met a real witch who was reel nyce and didn't put no kind of
hex on me. In fact she told me all about bein a witch and how she had to leave her home
cus her momma and her daddy didn't want her to be a witch and they did law things to take
her baby away frum her.
I had a really gud tyme in Homer, Alaska wen my man tuk me there on wut wus kalled
a Elderhostel. Homer is a little town on the Kenai Peninsula and we got there by flyin frum
Ankerage in a little airplayne with a lady co-pilot and then after we did wat we did in Homer
we flu bak to Ankerage on another little airplayne.
Then before we flu bak to Dallas we did a
site seein tour of sum real purty glacier places in an old timey airplayne that wus almost as old
as me and my man. Most all of the older peoples ridin on the ayrplane were grandpas takin their
grandkids for a ryde in this old timey airplayne. It shure wus fun.
Another fun trip wus goin 2 Canyon, Texus to see sumpn kalled a pajunt that
wus about old timey Texus and had indians and cowboys and singin and dancin and all that
sort of stuff. I got 2 meet sum of the singers and dancers and meet a man who played a
harmonica reel gud wen we stopped in Claude, Texus on the way home.
My man has taken me purty many playces, like Jenks in Oklahoma for a teddy bear
festival where I met Miss Monica. It wus fun goin 2 Red River in Nu Mexico and seein
the Hennepin Canal in Ilnoyze.
One tyme I got 2 see where Mr. President Johnson wus borned.
Wen my gramma wus alive we wuld go 2 Ilnoyze purty oftun and usualy got 2 see a
whole lot of fun things. One tyme we went to Tanner's Orchard and I got 2 ryde on this
little wooden train and got 2 see sum little horses that were not baby horse but just
never grew up. The pitcher of me ridin the wooden trayne with a little boy is at the top
of this ritin.
Another tyme wen we were in Indiana we went 2 a playce kalled Turkey
Run State Park. That wus a reel fun playce 2 cus there were lots of rocks and
a bridge over a stream and we got 2 go thru sum funny lukin bridges kalled
covered bridges.
I shure have been a lucky bear to go so many places, like Chicago and Minnysota and
California and Arizona and Colorado and Georgia and Spain and England and Canada and other
playces. Not every bear gets to ryde on trains and buses and airplanes and meet pretty ladies
and then tell stories about all of these ventures. I shure have lyked all my trips but I
guess the one I'll never forget is wen me and my man went to Ilinoyze to see my bestust frend
Samantha get married. Me and my man didn't know that we were to be important peoples at this
wedding. I bet not many bears have done that.
