HERE'S A RITIN FRUM

For OCTOBER, 2004


HI EVERYBUDY!

This is Old Bear ritin 2 U agin 2 tell U about a fun thing that I got 2 du.

My man's gud frend, Miss Elizabeth, lykes little childrun real well and there are purty many who live close to her. So she had a gud idea and that wus 2 give a party 4 all the childrun in the nayburhood and this would be an ice cream and cookie party. So she made purty invites with her computur that she tuk all around the nayborhood, and put some in the mail too. This invite told about the party and sed the parents could cum if they wanted to but it was a party for the childrun.

She asked my man 2 help her get things ready on party day and sed I shuld cum 2 cus she wanted lots of pitchers of the childrun and they culd hold me if they wanted 2 and my man culd take pitchers of them holding me.

Well, when the party day cum me and my man went to Miss Elizabeth's house and Mr. Sam & Miss Lucy who is Miss Elizabeth's son and his wife cum and Mr. Bryan who is Miss Elizabeth's grandson cum and we all worked to get things ready. My man swept the driveway clean of pecan shells that the squirrels had left and we all moved chairs and did stuff like that. Mr. Sam wus goin 2 B the ice cream man and put ice cream in the cones for everyone. Miss Lucy and Mr. Bryan were goin 2 be sumpn kalled gofurs.

Well, wen it cum 2 B party tyme little chilluns cum from all around the neighborhood and their mommas and daddies too. Here's a pitcher of Miss Elizabeth with most of the chilun that my man tuk pitchers of later in the day:

It wus hard to get all the childrun in one place cus they were havin such a good tyme playing and eatin ice cream cones and drinkin lemonade that Miss Elizabeth made.

The mamas and the daddies who cum with their childrun had a good tyme too jist visitin with each other. Most evrybudy knew evrybudy else, but there were sum new peples to get acquainted with and even sum peples who didn't have chilluns cum sew it wus a reel gud nayburhood party.

My man tried to get pichurs of all the childreuns but is purty sure he missed a few. Here are all the pitchers he tuk.

Do U want 2 hear sumpn funny? My man cum in frum goin 2 the store the other day and his nose was all bludy and his hands were all bludy and he wus limpin sew I asked him wut happened. He sed he had been walkin home on the sidewalk instead of in the middle of the road like he mostly duz and he tripped on a piece of the sidewalk that wus stickin up and he fell and hit himself on the sidewalk. He sed it must have been lyke a tree fallin over cus he went straight down and SPLAT on the concrete. He sed he wus lucky cus he cuught himself on his hands and a knee and his nose. Well, it wusn't sew gud he landed on his nose cus it got scraped purty gud His nose shure is funny lukin now, but he says it will get better. He says that trippin and fallin is sumpn he duz purty often and one tyme a man where he wurked sed he was the only man in the world who culd trip over a sheet of paper.

The next gud fun thing that I know about is goin on a cruise in November. It shure wus fun when we did that 2 years ago. The cruise will be on the same ship as last time but we will be goin 2 a difurunt place.
