Dear Brandi ~

As Head Bear it is my deep honor to write this post to you. How in the world can we bears thank you enough for sending along your special friends to live with Miss Molly and the rest of us? My word these new friends are wonderful (and none of them are twins to ones that already live here!) It was such an amazing but very welcome surprise when they showed up on our doorstep with the kind note you sent. They fit right in with our family - from the moment they popped out of the box and jumped into our hearts! We have already promised them a delicious dinner and cozy bed to sleep in after their long trip from Texas!

Miss Molly here - Brandi, thank you so much for doing such a kind and generous thing! The note you enclosed was adorable and funny and I shall keep it always! I am truly blessed by your friendship and I thank you again for sending along your dear friends. They will be cherished ALWAYS! Hmmm? What's that Theodore? Oh, of course, let's introduce the newest members of our family!

They all popped right out as soon as the box was open! Umm bears, over here for the picture please!


There, that's much better. We can see your sweet faces now! And look at the lovely quilts that kept you cozy on your journey! Now on to the introductions....


First, we have Miss Bailey dressed in her finest ladybug outfit!


Look, she even has her special box with which to hold her ladybug friends (she'll of course let them fly away whenever they wish!)


Next, we have Bailey's dear friend Darby who also wants to meet some ladybugs! He has one on his sweater!


Let's go outside and see what we can find, Darby!


Well, no ladybugs yet but look, it's little Mr. Oliver, enjoying the afternoon sun!


And he's joined by Miss Lois S. Bearhug!


Aww...such good friends!


And here is a handsome young gentleman enjoying the company of the ladies on a fine summer day!


And in her finest green bow and dress, we have another Bailey (not the same bearson, of course!)


Ah, the joys of shade....


And who are these two adorable friends flying by to greet us? It's brothers Winkle and Dinkle B. Bumbles!


Bailey is looking in the tall grass for ladybugs.


She has her box ready to welcome any ladybug visitors who would like to talk with her.


She and Darby are looking everywhere....


Maybe these kangaroo paw plants will attract them.

Well, Bailey will keep trying and let you know how everything turns out. In the meantime, thank you Brandi once again! (((SUPERGIANTBEARHUGS))))
