Bus Bingo Prize Mail!

 Hullo, we received some mail today!!

Except... um... uh-oh...

Um... Houston... we have a problem. A BIG problem!!

"Cocoa? Do you see what I see??"
Yes, I do Navy... yes I DO.""

Seriously Beanie Mouse... what were you thinking???

Now, now, let's not get our noses out of joint... it could be a simple innocent mistake?

Innocent mistake, my tail!!! 

Look at this!! Look at it!!!

Who is the SOLE addressee??? It is Sandy Bear! Not a mention of a Mouse!!

From our COUSIN no less! What are we?? Minced cheese curds? Hmph!!!!

"If that's the way Beanie wants to be... then FINE!!!"

Oh dear... Maybe it's just a sekrebeary typo (write-o) on the front...

Let's open it up and see...

But first let me get a pair of scissors to get into this Fort Knox of an envelope...

There's a lot of stuff in there! But I think I have it all!

Right, let's take a look...

It's a card... Resistance is ...utile... Eh?

I know my Star Trek: TNG and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Futile"! Good image of a Borg by the way!

Oh, it's a lovely card and it is addressed to...

Moi...

And only moi... hmmmm....

There's a nice pin badge from The National Gallery...

And another one that adds a line to the Beatitudes... "Blessed are the cracked for they let the light in"...

That seems like a good addition!

And a post card of an astronomical clock at Hampton Court Palace - cool!

And a magnetic book mark! Those are much better than turning over a couple of page corners!

Oh, and a little corner note... hmmmm... it's supposed to missing an F... "Resistance is Utile"?? Apparently "utile" means "useful"... and it was used before "useful" came on the scene! Cool... That'll be a good one to keep in your backpocket for Scrabble... Somebody puts "tile" down and you can score big with that "u"!

Thanks Beanie Mouse!!!

"Yeah... Thannnnkkkkkssss for nothing Beanie Mouse!"

Ooops.. we have a peanut gallery!

Who you calling peanuts???? We are NOT peanuts, even if we are small... we may be be small but we are mighty!!  I think we should make up our VERY OWN bus bingo cards... so we can get our VERY OWN prizes. Hmph (x2).

Ummm... so yeah... Beanie... any thoughts??

Mouse Bus Bingo & Missing Bullion Mail!

 I got some mail!!! A couple of weeks back... It's from Beanie Mouse & Co!

Another amazing Beanie card creation...

With Bus Bingo prizes!!!! AND one of the coins from the Case of the Missing Bullion!

I'm on my third... nope... wait... FOURTH (!!) Bus Bingo card... 

Oooohhh... there's also a pin badge and... a bus pass case! Excellent!!!

The coin on the right is the Missing Bullion coin... I solved this particular coin mystery a few blog posts ago. The coin on the left is... I think it's a replica coin... or something... it looks old!

Thanks Beanie!!! Don't you love getting stuffie mail... it's so much more fun than human mail!

Beary Special Mail!!

 There is more mail today!!

This envelope is from Baxter & Crew... I wonder if they miss me?

Awwww... it's a bearthday card!

With best wishes for my Bearthday! Thanks guys!

How old am I now, anyhow? I have no idea... 

"It's not how old you are... it's how old you behave... Stay young Sandy!"

And then there is this package, which is beary strange as it's not from any of my regular correspondents...

OMG!!! It's The Conqueror Challenge medal... for The Camino!

Oooohh.... ahhhh.... 

I love it!!!

What do you think?? I think it is beary fetching and I love the ribbon colours. Just because I am a bear does not mean I support a certain slavic country that invaded another one with provocation and put stuffies like Simon the Bear in serious danger. (Rant over)

"It looks beary good on you Sandy!"

"You know... my sekrebearies do a LOT of hiking... and The Conqueror Challenge has a virtual PCT (Pacific Crest Trail)... ah-hem...

"Are you listening??" (Editor's Note: If I was LF's sekrebearies... I'd be listening... LF has a beary baleful stare..."

I am a beary proud little bear!!! And maybe we'll do the Camino for real one day... but in the meantime... this is pretty cool...

And one more piece of mail!!!

It's a card from Beanie Mouse!

Ooohhh... a Bus Bingo prize!!! You know LF... I think that magnet is in your colours!

"Yes it is!"

"Thanks Beanie & Sandy. And... is my sekrebeary keeping up on my Bus Bingo card??? Do I even have a Bus Bingo card anymore?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...??"

There's also one of these card tags... I love these!!! Thanks Beanie!!!

Wow, that was a cool mail haul!
