Mail haul

Today, my secretary decided she would just randomly show up and come to work. She handed me a couple of pieces of old mail she "happened to find lying around." Should I fire her? It's so hard to find good help these days.

The first letter is... a Halloween card! Halloween? Are we seriously that backed up on posting?

It's from Jerry and Ben, and there is also a Starbucks gift card for participating in the Halloween costume contest where I was my alter ego, Dr. FISHKENSTEIN... mwahahahahahahahaha... *ahem* I mean, thank you beary much, Jerry and Ben!

My secretary handed me another envelope. Let me guess, it's a holiday card and probably months behind also!

It's a Christmas card from Sandy! Thank you Sandy! Speaking of Christmas cards, I think my secretary forgot to mail those out also - really? I think I could find someone on Fiverr who would do a better job.

Thank you for the mail, everyone! My goal in 2026 is to find a new secretary!

Happy New Year!

 Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I'm telling my secretary to post more often this year. Last year, my secretary only posted TWICE. *sigh*

Anyways, in an attempt to make it up to me, my secretary got me a McDonald's Happy meal.

Of course, I am easily bribed with food.

These french fries are the perfect size for me!

But let's get to the good stuff. Let's see the toy...

It says Gary the Snake on the box, from Zootopia 2. I haven't seen that movie...

Hisssssss....

What do you think? Should I request more bribes?

Bird feeder

Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to make a window bird feeder with this kit my mom got from The Home Depot. She picked it up a couple of years ago (heh) and now I'm finally getting around to putting it together. Better late than never!

I will lay out the pieces flat.

And then I will start hammering away!

I'm excited to see what types of birds will come by this bird feeder!

There, it's done! I added suction hooks and now I just have to hang it on a window and fill it with some bird food.

I even got a pin for completing this craft kit!

And a certificate of completion! Let's hang this bird feeder and see who comes by.

Some mail!

 I received a couple of postcards recently, so let's check them out!

The first postcard is from my friend Fritzel in Germany. I hope he had a Merry Christmas!

The second postcard looks beary familiar... why yes... that's Joshua Tree National Park in California. I went there a couple years ago! This postcard is from Little Fox who recently visited the park. Have you been there before?

Thanks for the fun mail!

More mail!

Hi everyone! Hope your holidays have been going well so far! I got some fun mail recently that I wanted to share. My secretary handed me a pile of mail that I haven't reviewed yet.

First is a Halloween card from Sprinkles the Bear and his human Hope. This is a vintage style card, so that's very cool!

Next is a postcard from Quebec, Canada. Okay, who could this be from? Maybe Sandy? Actually, it's from Jerry & Ben! They got to practice their French and enjoyed some maple syrup cheesecake.

And then we have a holiday card with a fox on it. So, this must be from Little Fox, right? Wrong again! This is also from Jerry & Ben. They really fooled me this time. :)

Ah okay, here is a holiday photo from Little Fox with photos from his many hikes. I wonder if 2025 is the year he will publish a hiking guidebook!

Thanks for the fun mail, everyone! My secretary hopes to post more frequently next year.

Mail bag

Hello friends! I'm wearing a new shirt today. It says "EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BEAR". Yes, I'll be here for you whenever you need, that's what stuffies are for. Thanks to my friend Droopy for gifting me this shirt!

I received some mail recently so let's check it out.

First is a postcard from Little Fox who went on a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado back in July. Colorado is a beautiful place with lots of mountains - perfect for Little Fox!

Next is... also a card from Little Fox! It's a birthday card, how nice! I did have a beary good bearthday at the end of August. I'll have to post pics of the cake soon.

Thanks, Little Fox, for the fun mail!
