March 3, 2005 - From Ms. Mary to SJ:
No two bears are alike. Some are from the same company, but none are close enough alike to pass for twins.
You can see most of the menagerie if you go to my web site and look at the menagerie list. Some have their little stories with their pictures; some are still waiting for a chance to get on the computer and type their stories.
Giddyup is on the list, but he is not linked to a photo because we were waiting for his ball, and I have to finish getting the tassels on his gold buttons.
J.R. (Junior Ranger) [the bear formerly known as "Ranger"] isn't on the web yet, nor are the last few new family members. At the San Diego Zoo on Friday, I met Aurora, a baby giraffe that needed a good home . . .
I found a flat little red flashlight made to go on a keychain. It also has a tiny compass in the handle. J.R. has it in his pocket. I suspect he and the group will have fun with that while I'm at work today -- starting from the minute I walk out the door.
