Friday Funnies

We went bear hunting on Halloween this year. It involved an overnight trip to nearby VT.

For the record, no humans or bears were injured in this quest.

The bear and others came from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company in Shelburne, VT. It's where we purchased this pink and white bear and puppy.

This couple didn't travel back to NH alone since they had these ↓ back-seat companions.

Here they are — an owl, penguin (of course) and a dinosaur. All of these, including the bear and puppy, all will be going to new young owners within the next few weeks. (Admittedly, we did consider getting a second penguin for our NH home; but did not.)

All of these are from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company

The puppy will be gifted to a NH friend expecting a baby boy in early 2025. The others will be go to family members. One of these book ↓ will be included with each "animal."

A children's book will be included with each toy.

The bear is a gift for our future great niece (Willow) whose arrival is expected in December. We will be seeing her parents an "older" sister at Thanksgiving in NJ. 

The dinosaur will be going to our 3-year old great nephew (Nicholas) who lives in FL and will be visiting NJ at Thanksgiving with his parents and "older" sister. 

The two "older" sisters mentioned above are 5-year old great nieces, Autumn, future big sister of Willow and Savannah, big sister of Nicholas. 

Once again this year, Grenville donned his now-annual Halloween costume. This $5 t-shirt was purchased in a Walmart many years ago. It never fails to receive positive comments.

After voting this week, we celebrated at this local ice cream stand on a 75-degree afternoon in NH. Unbelievably for us, this was the first 2024 visit here.

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
