A Flying Visit to...

Editor's note: This too is a pre-Cocoa's return post!

 Hullo!!!! We went on a trip!!!

A plane trip!!!

"My first plane trip in a long while!"

Can you guess where we are???

We're at Gramma's!!!!

Hi Gramma!!! 

We love Gramma!!!

She splurged for us!!! Navy got some goat cheese... yum!!! And I got some cold-smoked salmon!

Soooo yummy!!!

"Super yummy!!!"

Gramma knows how to please little stuffies with big appetites!

P.S. Gramma has Covid hair... just thought we'd mention that... 

Anyhow... while we're here, we decided to go find some chanterelles for Gramma. Navy's never been mushroom picking though.

Chanterelles are yellowy-orange and it's kind of hard cause there are all these orangely mushrooms which look like chanterelles...

But aren't. They're the scaley trumpet thingies... onwards!

There's lots of them around too...

See... another one!

But here's a chanterelle!!

And there's a whole clump hiding in the step moss!

A nice big clump!

Excellent!

It sure is pretty in the woods.

And more...

And... more!!

This is excellent! We'll have a great haul for Gramma.

Not chanterelles...

Oooh... that's a beary good haul!

And yes... Gramma was beary excited!!!!

While we were gone, a neighbour had dropped off a little tiny apple pie!

Yummers!!! We worked hard picking mushrooms... this is well-deserved!

Whew... stuffed!

But Gramma says she has a surprise for me! 

Surprises are always good as long as I don't have to wait too long!

Errr... that's my Christmas sweater. What's it doing up here????

Oooohhhhh.... A new sweater!!!! Gramma used the Christmas sweater as a pattern and knitted me a new sweater!!!!

I love it!!!

Let me just see... oofff... if it fits!!!

"Yeah... I don't know mate, that neck hole looks pretty small and you have a pretty big head..."

Oh... oofff... well... loook at that!!!

It fits!!!!!

Perfectly!!!!

And it's got a cool pattern on the back too!!! 

"But... but... but... I didn't get a sweater..."
It's OK Navy... you'll get a knitted vest soon!

Thanks Gramma!!!
