BIRTHDAY BEAR: I NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN THE GARDEN.

BIRTHDAY BEAR TRADITION

I have 9 old, wrinkly friends, who are retired or semi-retired. Five of them all used to work together and the other four are husbands. They didn't want to lose touch when they retired so they decided to meet and have lunch or dinner when it was their birthdays. However, they got disenchanted with buying a present every time, and decided instead to give a Birthday Bear (thats me.) I get passed from one birthday person to the next each time they meet. The fun part is, that I get to be dressed differently each time, usually to reflect some aspect of the recipient's personality or life.

PS: Two of my wrinklies, Chris and Bob, have gone on a working holiday tour around Australia so they don't celebrate with us very often.

I NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN THE GARDEN.

It was Mary's birthday and we went to the Pacific Golf Club to celebrate. Helen helped me get dressed and she bandaged my wound. Just like Mary I was working in the garden and cut myself with the shears. I had to have stitches and a tetanus shot just like Mary did. Ouch it hurt!!
