The BearBnb Washing Chamber

OK, so this next room really has nothing for any self-respecting stuffie. We don't need to shower or sit on the throne... or wash our paws (really... we don't)... But there is one thing in here that is useful to stuffies! Stick with me!

The bathroom is small but it has everything your human will need... a shower, toilet and sink... along with a few extra amenities.

It's always fun taking pictures in here because... do you see? I am in the reflection in the mirror!!

There's extra toilet paper... lots of hand towels and facecloths and...

There's even a curling iron, hair straightener and a blow-dryer. 

The blow dryer can sometimes be useful for stuffies after a rainy hike... or if they lost their balance along the edge of the lake...

There's also some reading material...

And under the sink, we have a "Did you Forget" basket with various toiletries and things... mostly for humans...

There was one thing in the basket that was useful for stuffies... did you see it?

Oh, and there is a First Aid Kit under here as well...

Along with extra bathmats... although... the thing in the "Did You Forget" basket should really be in a Stuffie First Aid Kit...

It's a little sewing kit with needles and thread!! Because, as any good stuffie knows... if you don't catch a wound early... it will get exponentially worse! Better to stitch it up!

Have you had June-uary this Year??

 We have had June-uary this year! Not that we are complaining... would rather have cool and wet in June than scorching hot and dry... wildfires you know.

We took a drive to check out one of our favourite swimming lakes...

This one!!

It's so pretty here... but it's still a bit chilly for swimming. At least it was in mid-June.

And the water was actually beary high compared to normal!

This is a consortium of cedars that have grown together! Pretty cool...

I am a tiny bear compared to these trees!

So many neat pics to take...

Roots always look so neat when you see them like this.

And... we saw this super pretty beetle! A very striking irridescent green... no idea what it is though. Have never seen one like it before.

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).
