"Here I am at Joanie's house all dressed for my visit to LLBean in Freeport Maine. I am so excited!! Now if Joanie would just get out of her bathrobe, we can get going!" |

"Before the other members of B.E.T.S.Y. arrived at LLBean, Joanie met a young girl named Haley and they got to talking about dolls. Haley has three Magic Attic Dolls. Hey! The same guy that designed them, Robert Tonner, designed me!!! What a nice man he is! And Haley recently won an American Girl doll....good going Haley!! I enjoyed meeting you and your mom very much!" |

"Joanie said the people who are 'from away' would want to see the outside of LLBean so here are members of B.E.T.S.Y. outside the store. It's Linda Knott, Elizabeth, Nancy Ferguson (holding me!) and Sandra Wheeler. Hello again, ladies! Nice meeting you all!" |
|

|
"And here are the same ladies inside LLBean at the Dew Drop Inn Cafe showing and telling about some of their dolls. I enjoyed seeing the dolls too. I liked the outfit that Linda's Betsy had on. I want a coat and hat like that too! The hat even has feathers on it!" |

"Oooooh....LLBean has neat animals placed around the store. Here I am with a black bear. Bears are really very nice and don't bother people in the woods. They will run away from you if they see you usually. Just don't get between a mommy bear and her babies!" |
|

"I decided to be a temporary member of the LLBear family. That is BEAR, not BEAN!" |

"Wow...this moose had BIG antlers! I don't know that I would want to bump into him in the woods. Joanie has seen moose very close up in Baxter State Park at Chimney Pond Campground. The moose there are so used to people, they will just stay right in the campground. But don't walk right up to them...you will see their hair stand-on-end if you get too close!" |

"I am exploring the trout pond inside the LLBean store in these last three photos. There is also a smaller pond over at the LLKids store. Joanie bought me a magnet that says LLKids on it. And Sandra Wheeler's husband, Bob, bought me a postcard that has LLBean on it. Thanks Bob!!. I think I will mail that to Janie Hile." |

Note from Joanie: Thanks to LLBean for letting us "play dolls" in their cafe and for allowing me to take photos in the store. We had a good time! |
