A Beary Special Section of the Welcome Book in Sandy's Bearbnb

Hullo! Today... I am going to show you our Welcome Binder... aka... the House Manaul. It is a beary important part of any Bearbnb and tells guests how to operate appliances, where to find different things, etc.

Ours has expanded over the years as we've added more and more sections. We have a section for kids... and another one with things to do and places to go. But today... I am going to show you the BEST and MOST IMPORTANT section... 

Yes... Is is the Section for the Young at Heart! And it's all about... 

.... MEEEEEE!!!!

There's a whole section on who I am and pics of me on some of my adventures...

I mean... any visiting stuffies need to know who their host is, right?

Then there is a section on Sandy's Selfie Chair... where visiting stuffies can get a selfie with Yours Truly (that would be me!). And another page explaining the Travel Journal stamp... and how to get their stuffie passport stamped...

And finally, there's a section on the BookCrossing books...

Can you think of any other sections I should include in the Welcome Binder? I want stuffies to feel welcome!

Mail Call!!

I received some mail in June!! 

First up, a postcard from...

... Jerry & Ben! They went to Split Rock Lighthouse I think they've been there before...

They go on some cool trips!

They even crossed the border and went to Fort William in Ontario and checked out Kakabeka Falls... beary impressive.

Sounds like a place to add to my Cross-Canada-Road-Trip Bucket List... whenever that happens.

Then there's an envelope from Beanie Mouse!

With Harry Potter stamps!!

And a beary nifty card...

Nice gold foil paper... and a lino print I think.

Oooohhh... it's a Bus Bingo prize!!! 

And Beanie's right... I need to make another Bus Bingo card!

It's a neat little antiquey coin...

With some caesar guy on the back... you know... I think I just got another idea for a Halloween costume!!!

I like these coins! They are cool!

Chilling in Sandy's Bearbnb

 Hullo!! Let me show you the living room, where our guests like to chill and hang out.

It's really quite nice in the early morning sunshine. So bright and cheery.

The couch is uber comfortable. Can you imagine how many stuffies could fit on this couch?? Scads!!!!

And there are two other chairs so we can have an excellent conversation across from each other.

We could also watch TV... if there was a Stuffie channel... which I haven't come across yet.

And then... under the TV... we have...

Games, lots and lots of games!!

There are some magazines to read too. Again... why is there no stuffie magazine?

And right now... the view out the window is full of blooming rhodos. Sooo pretty. 

It might not be a big living room... but it is a cozy one. Perfect for vacationing stuffies (and their humans... if you have to bring them along... and sometimes you do).

Quick Trip to Vancouver

 Hullo!!! I am going on another quick trip. I have to say that the humans are doing beary well with the trips this year. But... although it might look like I'm on a plane... I am not!

I'm on a ferry!!!

But not just any old BC Ferries ferry... no, I am taking the new(ish) catamaran Hullo ferry!

It is beary posh on the upper level...

But on these ferries... you can't go outside... just inside. They go super fast!

BC Ferries goes at 18 knots and the Hullo goes at 40 knots!

We bought some snacks... cause snacks are important when traveling with a stuffie.

While we were zipping to Vancouver in just over an hour... we wrote a card for Rose!

And... we are almost there!

That's the Lions Gate Bridge and Stanley Park...

Seeeee!!!

The Hullo docks in downtown Vancouver, near Canada Place... beary convenient!

It's a busy harbour and we had to give the float planes a wide berth.

And here's Rose!!

We gave her the Avengers key chain that Jerry and Ben had sent for Rose's bearthday! She loves it!

And.... we went and saw Rose as Ali in Mamma Mia!!! She's the one holding the umbrella!

We think she did a great job!

And then... we headed home again! Just a one night trip... on the way home we passed by the Floatel that has been hanging out on the east coast of Vancouver Island since January. It is supposed to house the LNG workers near Squamish but there were licensing hiccups. (N.B. in late June, they finally got permission to park it near Squamish!).
