I have to show you my two new Teddy Bears and tell you why I have three now instead of one. Last night was Relief Society. I wasn't that anxious to go because it was cold and it was going to be dark but, of course, Debbie wouldn't let me whine so I went. I am glad I did go. There were lessons on food storage and also there was a tasting table. The Theme was "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without".

Also there was a trading table. You were supposed to bring items you no longer needed and trade for stuff you do need. Debbie brought a lot of things. Also, Debbie brought my rice cooker and my Omelet pan I don't use anymore. I picked up a notebook that Debbie brought to use for my Diary on our Mexican Riviera Cruise and I picked out a Teddy Bear. Sister Opstad brought lots of Teddy Bears. She said she had a duplicate of everyone she brought for the trading table. She said she has ninety Teddy Bears right now. She also makes all the clothes for them. She finds the Teddy Bears at Thriftshops. Sister Opstad told the sisters to take more bears because she didn't want to take them back home. So I picked out another bear. I said it was for Debbie but I would keep it on my bed. The Teddy Bear with the red dress is the one I already had.


I think I mentioned before that the beautiful quilt on my bed is one that Donna and Diane made me.

In this picture you can see I still have my "Wolfie" that I bought in Washington DC when Debbie and I went there last summer. Wolfie is on guard duty now watching over my bears. Am I in my second childhood? Or could it be that I never left my first childhood?
