Galway City, Ireland

I use to love packing and I use to be really good at it.  Anymore I'm lucky to have enough underwear and a toothbrush.  I wish I had a travel secretary, I like to travel and it sure would be nice.  I'm in Ireland for the first time now.  It's been beautiful, it's been very windy, it's been cold.   I like it.


I planned to have some stow-aways with me because they're easy to get through security and customs without me being declared a terrorist. One of them is a holy terror, he loves to travel.

Amos!

His first night at the pub. Ran up quite a bill for stout.  Belched and giggled the whole night.  Hazel and Thomas aren't speaking to him. Neither am I.

                                                                  

That was good, that was some bad and that was horrible!

I’m new to blogging and teddy bear making too. Bearing is going great, blogging is going bad and here is why.  Today I finished my 4^th of July teddy bear for the hospital show. That was good.  I like the way my new pattern is working out for smaller bears.  They are really chubby with a monstrous hump.  My Betsy Ross changed on me to a boy.  So I’ll call the little guy Hero. That was good.

Practice makes perfect is a motto I’ve tried to follow.  But this morning as I was ironing my husband’s shirt I was struck. Ironing now there is something I’ve had a lot of practice at.  Been doing in since…well…. I don’t know, decades?  I’m really not much good at it.  That’s what I thought when I’d finished the shirt, till wrinkled and creased.  That’s when I started to get scared.  That was some bad.

I’ve been looking for my blog spot on search engines ever since I started it which was just a few days ago and couldn’t find it.  I realized later the blogger had been down.  Then Sunday there is was…Klintzfamily bears.blogspot.com.  How exciting! I noticed another blogger Cool-bear; I’m just above this one. I popped on to it, totally disregarding the disclaimer which is a warning…politically dressed up bears maybe… teddy bear violence…I doubt it.

I had no idea that was possible on a blog! It outrageous and illegal…I think!  I never expected that. Lot’s of fur and cuddling but no teddy bears.  Clearly it’s a pornography site. I felt dopey for not heeding the warning but I never believed you could post stuff like that on the Internet. Please be warned, this is NOT to peak your interest. I wanted to take down my blog because of the “bear” in the title and it’s subject matter being linked to other immorality sites but Jerry said, don’t. That was horrible!
