July 12, 2004 - From Ms. Mary to friends:
Oh, man, have I caused a ruckus up on the bookshelf. I wish the stuffed ones would quit reading over my shoulder when I'm at the computer. They get so excited when they think company is coming. The Girls from Laurie want their hair done, and Mr. Vegas' little puffy purple feet are just a dancing and a prancing, and New Bunny is hopping up and down, and Patriot Bear SIR, is making the most pleased sounding "HARRUMPH" I have ever heard coming out of his mouth. Sheesh! And somebody got the idea that a little dusting is in order, and you should see the dust clouds bursting over the edge of the bookshelf. That's kind of embarrassing. I thought I had taught them to be cleaner than that. I DID, TOO, YOU GUYS, AND QUIT READING OVER MY SHOULDER! Well, there. I guess I told them, huh? <sneeze> <cough> Somebody poked Mr. Bonnet in the tummy and now he is humming "Easter Parade" and BunnyPoo is tapping her little bunny feet in their ducky slippers, which disturbs Just Ducky because he prefers his ducks alive and quacking. And, to make matters worse, BunnyPoo carries with her everywhere a little stuffed duck wrapped in a blanket. I gotta go. Baby Red just untied -- quite by accident -- one of KatieBear's little blue ribbons. If I don't lend him a hand getting it retied, he will end up getting all the rest untied, too.
