Ms. Donkey in Lake Placid

7/16/2018

I Am Ms. Donkey

I am Little Bear's friend. I am writing Little Bear's Blog, because he is trapped in Beth's camera case, back in Texas.

Beth didn't realize she had left her camera at their lake cabin, until she was packing for the New York trip. I told Beth I could go along on the trip and she could use another camera. Little Bear had so hoped to pose for Beth when they went to Lake Placid. So I posed instead, just like Little Bear did many years ago... before you were lost.

The Sign on the Rock

This is an old photo. It was taken after Beth realized Little Bear wasn't in her pocket.

Beth left a "Lost" sign on the rock, before she left town. A family found Little Bear and then noticed the sign and they mailed him back to Texas. The story is really more complicated.

Dear Little Bear...

Little Bear, I hope you don't think I was having fun doing your posing for you. You can tell I'm not smiling, so please don't be jealous that I went on the trip that you were supposed to go on.

It wasn't a very pretty day in Lake Placid. It was kind of boring, sitting on the fire hydrant, like you did years ago.

But I guess I shouldn't complain, since Beth didn't lose me. There was no hole in her pocket, this time.

Easter Donuts

4/1/2018

Easter Picnic

Beth and Don went on a picnic on Easter morning. They had donuts and that seems crazy.

Jellybeans

Who needs donuts when you have jellybeans. They should have packed their toothbrushes for their picnic.

My Friend

Best of all, they packed a friend for me. Happy Easter!

Paper Cranes from the Wedding

3/29/2018

Folded Paper

Beth's daughter folded about 200 paper cranes for her wedding. At the reception, they were hanging here and there and some had names on them, telling people where to sit. They were very colorful.

Flowers and Stuff

After the wedding, there was a lot of baby's breath and eucalyptus left over. Beth and Don brought lots home, along with some forgotten cranes.

In the Trash

After Beth posed me with her paper crane, she cleaned up a mess of stuff. Then she couldn't find me. This is a photo of me in the trash can. Yep. I was thrown away.

In a Bowl of Cranes

She felt pretty bad about that and she placed me in the bowl with the cranes. I felt honored.

Wedding Day in March!

3/25/2018

Heidi and Jamie's Wedding!

I love weddings! There are always flowers and I have always been good at posing with flowers. So I posed... while Heidi was getting her hair done.

Bouquet

Can we just pretend that I was still in that bouquet, when Heidi smiled for the photographer?

A Stop at the Clown Motel

3/6/2018

Tonopah, Nevada

Don and Beth made another interesting stop on their road trip, from Texas to California. They stopped at the Clown Motel in Tonopah. Beth brought along her own childhood clown to show the owner.

There were hundreds of clowns in the motel lobby. A lot of people say this place is creepy and it sort of was. I'm glad she didn't pose me with the clowns, or I might have gotten lost.

Beth's Clown

I'm glad Beth posed me with her own clown instead. I wasn't sure about spending the night in our motel room, decorated with clowns... looking out over an old cemetery.

Morning

We woke up to snow in the morning. We made it through the night without any ghostly clown encounters.

I like going on adventures with Beth and Don, but I'm not sure this was my favorite kind.

Pie Town, New Mexico!

3/6/2018

A Tiny Pie

I love this picture of me on top of Caramel-Apple Pie! It's hard to tell from the photo, but this pie is very small. I am a 2-inch bear and I love that all the pies at "Gatherin' Place" are more my size.

A Little Detour

Beth and Don took me along on their road trip from Texas to California.

Sometimes they get off course a little bit and this time they had a really good reason.

It had to do with pie

It was a good detour to Pie Town. There's not much there besides pie, but I'm glad we stopped!

Masquerade!

2/13/2018

Happy Mardi Gras!

I'm wearing a masquerade mask so no one will recognize me. It will give me a little more confidence if I want to dance around and be silly!

Tiny Donuts

1/20/2018

Market in Bangkok

Beth just had to buy these tiny donuts at the market in Bangkok. She said they were the tiniest donuts she'd ever seem. She said they were just my size.

But that makes no sense. If I used one like a life preserver, I'd fall through. Those donuts are not tiny to me.

Kind of Tiny

I guess when you look at Don's hand, holding the donut tray you can see how small these donuts were. Don could practically wear those donuts like sticky rings on his fingers.

How Did They Taste?

The donuts weren't so yummy. We didn't finish them. Maybe next time we'll be more adventurous at the market!

Breakfast in Chiang Mai Hotel

1/20/2018

Coffee Cup

Beth doesn't usually use a saucer when she has coffee at home. Now saucers are my favorite thing. I warmed my back and enjoyed the coffee smell.

This was my favorite hotel in Thailand. Beth needs to start paying more attention to breakfast. It's my favorite meal for relaxing!

Temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand

1/20/2018

Beautiful Gold Statues

It was very peaceful, visiting the Temple. Ii was quiet and I tried to be respectful.

I just rested on the knee of one of the 3 monks and watched the visitors remove their shoes to enter the Temple. I wish I could have stayed forever.
