Postcard from Sandy

My secretary checked my mailbox a while ago and found this postcard from our friend Sandy. It was sent back in July over the summer.

Sandy went to Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada and also saw puffins, ate lots of cod, and had plenty of ice cream. Sounds like a terrific trip!

It's time for a trip for me, huh?

Boxers or briefs?

I received a package from my friend Sandy a couple weeks ago.

He also sent along a postcard with salmonberries on the front. Sandy wrote that he got these boxers sometime ago for a Bob T. Bear challenge and thought I might like them.

I was beary intrigued, as I have never had boxers before. I looked inside.

And there they were - a pair of BearBoxers.

I had never seen such a thing before in my life. But now I felt conflicted, as I had to struggle with my feelings of disdain for pants and related clothing.

Would I be brave enough to try them on?

Well, here goes nothing. Give me one moment please.

Uh, hello? Are you still there? This is a bit embarrassing. Should I come out? It's not that often that I walk around in underwear.

Ok, what do you think?

The fit is comfortable, more comfortable than pants. And I can definitely see myself lounging around in them.

I will say... I rather like them!

Thank you beary much, Sandy, for these boxers!

Mail from Sandy

Yo yo yo, what is up everyone? Today, I'll be showing you all the fun mail I received from Sandy over these past few weeks. So I need to check my mailbox more often...

First up is a plain typed letter congratulating me on medaling in the Winter Stuffie Olympics.

There was a prize enclosed also - a NASA pin! Cool! I can't wait to wear this on my astrobear suit.

Next is an envelope with shamrock stickers. And some very cool postage stamps also!

It's a St. Patrick's Day card from Sandy!

The card has a maze inside and a nice note from Sandy. I love mazes. I can't wait to do the maze.

And then there is an envelope decorated with flowers, Easter eggs, and butterflies. Sandy has quite the sticker collection going on!

An Easter card! Sandy tells me they have been up to lots of geocaching lately. I'll have to try that out here sometime.

Thank you for all the beary cool mail, Sandy! I love the pin!

MAIL UPDATE

 We interrupt this road trip recap with this mail update!

I received some cool mail from Sandy!

How do I know it's from Sandy? Well, he has his very own postage stamp. I used to have some of myself also, but ran out. I will have to reorder some. There's nothing quite like seeing your face on a postage stamp.

And if there was any doubt, he also put a sticker of himself on the back of the envelope.

The first envelope appears to be a distress call, that says "Things are getting worse" on the front.

And it says "Please send chocolate" on the back. Oh no, things must be very terrible!

Oh, it's a lovely Easter card with a bunny on the front. How nice! Sandy says he is doing a lot of exploring and hiking lately, and will be supervising some house renovation projects.

The other envelope contained a few postcards. Did you know a group of badgers is called a cete?

And quite possibly my favorite postcard ever... is one of Paddington Bear!

Thanks for the mail, Sandy!

We'll get back to our road trip shortly!

Mail from Sandy

Hey everyone, did you know that Sandy is single-handedly keeping the postal service beary busy? I checked my mailbox yesterday and found two letters from him!

The first is this light yellow envelope that has a lot of stickers on it. The envelope is really shiny and has a pearl-like lustre to it - cool!

And on the inside was a red card with some intricate cut-out design.

When I opened the card, a huge dragon popped out at me! Wow, this was so cool! Sandy is thanking me here for the sticker I sent him recently.

The second piece of mail came in a larger envelope that also had stickers on it, Winnie the Pooh stickers to be exact.

Look at this beautiful card!

Sandy gave some interesting updates in his card. He might be going on a long road trip to visit Gramma, and visiting Rose and Otto the Otter. Thank you beary much Sandy for the mail!

Mail call

A few days ago, I received a postcard in the mail from Sandy during his trip in London. Sandy is an international traveling bear, just as all stuffies should be! Thanks for the postcard

By the way, I'm outside on the balcony taking this photo and it's golden hour! The lighting is beary nice, isn't it?

Jigsaw puzzle

A beary long time ago, my friend Sandy sent me a jigsaw puzzle. My secretary (before I fired her), had this kept in storage so I am only now just getting to put it together. Anyways, one side of this puzzle is a bear.

On the other side are some fish. I am going to say that they are salmon.

Let's put all the pieces on the floor.

I like to start with the edges first.

Cool, the border is done!

Alright, there is just one piece left. Where does it go?

Yes, there it is! Our puzzle is now complete.

Do you remember that I said this was a double-sided jigsaw puzzle? I'm going to turn it over very carefully. Cool! Thanks for the puzzle, Sandy!
