Mail Call and a Surprise!

Hullo!!! It's that time again...

Yep... it's mail call!! This week, there's a postcard! It looks like a bunch of Indigenous people having a skating party... but that can't be right, can it?

Although there are sticks on the ice... and some tin cups (maybe with hot chocolate?). So maybe this is an early version of hockey?

It could be!!

It's from Jerry & Ben!!! They too wondered about the tins containing hot cocoa... well, Jerry wondered. Ben is pretty sur they didn't. And the painting is Ballplay of the Dakota... on a frozen river... so it could be an early version of ice hockey!

Thanks Jerry & Ben!!! I wonder if they are coming for a.... ***?

... what's that? A knock at the door???

But there's no one here... or... wait... what is that????

There... is... a horse... eating the last of the long grass!!!

And not just any horse!!!!

It's an RCMP horse!!!! I'll be right back!!!!

As many of you know... I am a member of the RCMP B Division (That's Bear Division for those not in the know). But it's hard to be an RCMP without a mount... afterall... RCMP stands for Royal Canadian Mounted Police... it's not the RCUP you  know (Royal Canadian Unmounted Police).

And this horse... is... for meeeee???!!!!!

Do you have a name wonderful horse????

Yes I do!!! My name is Obsidian Storm!!! And I am an official RCMP horse, born and bred to work hoof in paw with members of the RCMP B Division!!! But... there's been supply chain issues you know.... Anyhow... mount up!!!

Oooohhh... See the MP on the saddle blanket... that stands for Mounted Police...

Errr... oooffff... I can see... ooof ... grunt... why you are... ugh! lying down... I'd have serious trouble getting mounted if you were stand in up!!

Whoaaaa... almost there!!!!

There we go!!!!!

Sandy and Obsidian Storm... ready to tackle the world!!!

Now... all I need is a pennant... and I could join the RCMP Musical Ride!!! Giddyup!!!
