Hammie Mail!

I got a postcard from Hammie earlier this week - the one with the red lighthouse... Hammie sure is a lucky hamster to go on all of these exciting expeditions!

More mail!!

Holy moly!! This has been a week of mail - receiving and sending! Yesterday evening we got visitors from back home and they brought us an accumulation of mail. And Sandy got the lion's share of it!

Look at that!! Sandy got a post card from Hammie, an envelope from Beanie and a parcel from Jerry & Ben!

Hammie sent a post card from his fall vacation back in October. What a beautiful castle! Thanks Hammie!

And then there was an envelope from Beanie with a beautiful card and a double-decker bus magnet. It was part of Beanie's birthday Trombola - where Beanie the birthday mouse gives gifts away! Thanks Beanie!

And finally a parcel from Jerry & Ben! Sandy had heard about this parcel and now it's finally here!

Oooohhhh!!! Chocolate!!! Halloween chocolate in December!! Yummm...

And a card too! This is Sandy's prize box for the Halloween Contest that Jerry & Ben sponsored back in October. Thanks guys!

Oh... we don't know a lot of these chocolate types! There are Kit-kats which we have here in Canada, but some other things are new up here... That will be fun!

Thanks everyone!!!

We interrupt this hike for... Mail Call!!

Sand came home today and checked the mail box... and there was more mail for him than there was for anyone else!!

 Holy mackeral... There was a packet from Jerry and Ben (more on that in a bit). And two lovely post cards, both from Hammie!

One is from Hammie's home town and has a very nice steam train on the front. Cool!! And the other one is from Ditzum (where Hammie was on holidays). Sandy got two beary big hamster hugs from Hammie! Getting mail is so much fun!

 And then there was Jerry and Ben's packet which had the medals from the Bear Olympics. Sandy got a gold medal in gardening and a bronze in Napping. Zotti and Teddy got medals too in Gardening - but both of them are on hiatus so Sandy graciously accepted their medals and promises to pass them along!

 Then there were stickers... AND a postcard... whew... that is quite a bit of mail for a little bear!

An Award from my friend Hammie!

My friend Hammie the Hamster received this award from his friend Eldritch the Dragon... and, since Hammie is very generous, he passed it on to his own friends (of which I am one...) so... now I just have to answer some questions...

1.My favourite number:
is... 10 because it's easy to remember.

2.My favourite non-alcoholic drink:
is... hot chocolate because it's comforting.

3.Do I prefer Facebook or Twitter:
ugh... not Twitter... so only Facebook because my Tumblr or Flickr posts go there too...

4.My passion:
Adventures, hiking, photography, bike riding, genealogy, picking flowers.

5.My favourite pattern:
Mmmm... plaid... because it's very Canadian!

6.My favourite day of the week:
Saturday... because I can go for a nice long hike and have many adventures.

 7.My favourite flowers:
Lily of the Valley, Lilacs, Freesias, Tulips (very beautiful), Queen's Cup (a wild flower).


If any of my friends want to receive the award, I bequeath it unto them!
