Penguin Bear

We
got
a
package
in
the
mail...





...filled

with

early

Valentine's

Day

surprises.




To keep her sanity this winter, my sister is also sewing up a storm. Last week she emailed this photo of her sleuth of bears.

Noah has a fetish for stuffed animals. So, this bear picture drew him in, trying to pick out one he liked best. Teasingly, I emailed my sister his dilemma:"But he didn't see one in penguin colors: black with a white oval on its belly and an orange nose."

Imagine our surprise a week later, when she responded in earnest! Inside the box, she enclosed a note: "Something special for Valentine's Day for your house. It was fun making him – #28 Bear..."

The bear

that

Noah hugged and named, "Penguin Bear!"


Here's to the adage: The heart that gives gathers!

Thanks Aunt Tammy and Clara Sue – for breaking up winter's doldrums out-of-the-blue!
