Dude and I went to the road yesterday, I rode, he ran. He sure loves doing that. It was nice, not 70º yet.  Then I made thank you cards and some birthday cards. Melted caramels and scooped out apples to make the caramel apple treats. Well I did "somethings" wrong!  First I scooped out the apples with a mellon-baller...
... and yes that mellon-baller looks old...it was my Mom's.
Melted the caramels in the microwave. Big mistake. Too hot for too long and I thought the microwave was on fire!!!
All the AC fans went on high, ceiling fans on high, exhaust fan on high. Geeeze.......
So tried again according to the back of the caramels package... added a drop of water, microwaved lower heat and less time...
Trouble is, the caramel never got hard again! Runny. Will have to ask Laura how she did hers! Sigh.....
 
All I know. Happy Monday. Nuff said. Ciao.

September 9th
Teddy Bear Day
 
This is exactly what mine looks like. Teddy is in a trunk somewhere. Given to me when I was born by my Aunt Agnes. Kept him with me all the time.
 
Today is Teddy Bear Day. A Teddy Bear is a special friend to children all over the world. He's cuddly. He makes you feel secure in an otherwise insecure world. He's lovable. Your Teddy Bear is both a companion and a comforter. And, he's not afraid of the dark. He'll keep you safe. Spend the day and night with your teddy bear . Cuddle up to him. Talk to him. And, do all of your favorite things together. Parents and adults: No child should grow up without a teddy bear. If you know of any kid without one, use this day to buy a teddy bear for them. As we become adults, some find it difficult to give up our teddy bears. We feel there is no reason to give him up. Some adults have their teddy bears around all their lives. Its perfectly normal....and okay.

Some women even marry their Teddy Bears- and keep them after all the hugs have worn him thin. Or at least his hair is thin):-

I will have to post the pic I posted on Kev's page of Sunshine Bear recently. He asked and asked if we had found it yet. Dad looked all over our storage unit, no luck. Then I went looking in Eric's closet (was Kev's room) and there he was under lots of stuff. Grandma Bowler gave him Sunshine Bear and Daryl "Bow Wow" dog on her last Christmas on this earth. They were 4 years old.

Loved the doggie water video. We have never had a dog who liked the water. Dad would have to bar the door to their house and close all gates when it was bath time. I thought Labs like the water! :(

I must have been 11 or 12 when Miss Yoder allowed us girls at Parnell to watch Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was shocked that she allowed that as she was a devout Quaker woman. Will always remember that show and Elvis The Pelvis!!

Stay cool!
