More Mail and a Mystery!

 Hiya! We're back! I know... we are soooo behind on our blog posts. The Stuffie Olympics ended weeks ago and we still haven't judged the entries... That's coming! 

Anyhow.... we received some mail a couple of weeks ago!

"Well... let's be totally honest here... Sandy received mail! See... addressed to Sandy..."

"And this one too...."

"But no mail ever comes for me... just for me... sigh..."

Ok... um... right then... moving right along.... (pssst!!!! somebody write Cocoa something!)

This first envelope is from... do you see it? Two little bears!

With a Snoopy sticker... must be Jerry & Ben!

Awww... it's a Valentine's Day card!

Thanks guys!

So sorry we didn't get any cards written this time... sigh... sekrebeary issues.

And this second package is from... 

"England!! It's from my cousins, the Beanie clan... you'd think that they would send me mail but... hmmm.... good point... maybe I need to send some mail first in order to receive some!!! Must think on that some more."

Anyhoo.... we got a card! We've seen that one before we thinks...

Ooohhhhh prizes!!! From the Bus Bingo game! And two prizes too... excellent! Which one do you want Cocoa?

I'm taking the British Library eraser cause I am going to write more letters and don't write well so am going to need this for sure...

Two prizes... such a smart mouse!

And the Big Ben magnet will come in handy on the fridge... Maybe I should post a blog schedule up there for the sekrebeary to see everyday!

And... a Moriarty Mouse mystery... OK... here we go....

"An Oxford Medical student

in the 50s ran a race--

of a mile, and set a fast pace,--

Broke the 4 minute record,

a winner crowned.

This statue now stands

at the PNE fairground.

Who is he?"

Oooh. Oooh!!! We know this!!! Isn't that the race where the guy passed on the outside while the other guy was looking over his inside shoulder... Banner... Bannerman... heck... what is it???

We got it!! It's Bannister!!!

See... there's the statue!! The race was in 1950 for British Empire Days... and they both finished the race in less than 4 minutes. The other guy was Landy from Down Under... Cool! Thanks Moriarty Beanie!!

Mail!!

 Hullo!! I know... sekrebeary issues... sigh. What's a stuffie to do?? Anyhow... I received some mail a few weeks ago!

It's a Valentine's Day card!! I do like this Valentine!

Awwww... it's from Droopy!!

Thanks Droopy! As you all might have guessed... we didn't get our V-day cards out at all this year. But we are going to improve on that... aren't we??? Yes, we are!

The Mail Problem...

Hullo!! There was a bunch of mail in the mailbox and normally a lot of it is for us but... take a look at this...

None of it is for us!!! Zero, zilch, nada, zippo!

How can that be??? And it isn't just today... this has been happening for the last few weeks. Mama says it's tax time... I say it's incredibly taxing on the stuffie psyche! 

Incredibly taxing...

... because even though Sandy says "we"... the truth is the mail is always addressed to him... just to him. Hmph... what am I? Chopped liver?? Chopped acrylic stuffing??? Hmph...

Uh-oh... I think we... er... I... have a problem on our hands!! There is discontent in the stuffie ranks and it's not just me... it is we! Maybe we are getting cabin fever! Mama took one look at our discontented eyes and...

We got to go on an outing. There are still some remnants of snowmageddon...

But there are also signs of spring!

We know Jerry will appreciate these pictures... hehheh...

And one more for good measure...

Right then... let's get this little hike on the road!

Looks like they knew we... er... I was coming. Cocoa wants to know why they never say "Caution... Mouse... in area"... er... well... let's give that some thought, shall we?

Lots of people out on the trails today...

But we are heading this way...

Just down there...

Ahhhhh... this is so much better...

Sometimes all a stuffie needs is some time outdoors... to just sit and soak up the sun and fresh air...

*** And we... er... I... hope that Cocoa Beanie is in a better frame of mind after this... Some chocolate might help too.

Prize Mail!!

 We got some mail a couple of weeks ago. I know, I know... sekrebeary issues... but ya gotta work with them sometimes...

Well... technically... Sandy got mail!! Cause it's addressed to him... and it's from somebody we've never heard of!

Well, er... yes... it is addressed to me but...

Ooohhh... it's from a button place!!!

With a little note...

Hi Alexander, Thanks for the order (we didn't order anything!). I hope you enjoy it! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram... @hcbuttons... xo....

Well, this is all beary mysterious....

It's a beary nice button though...

Can you see... it's got Canada and Canadian stuff all over it... like the flag and maple syrup and hte beaver and hockey sticks....

Oh, there's a note... What does it say?
"Hi Sandy!! Congrats on winning the Gold Medal in the 2021 Stuffie Summer Olympics!! Here is your prize! Happy New Year! Ajdin"

Oh, well that makes sense now!!! We entered the Stuffie Summer Olympics ages ago!! And Ajdin did post the results a few weeks ago... And we did win GOLD for the Waterfall Barreling competition.

But... says Cocoa... how come YOU get the prize??? I mean... there was me and Otto tooooooooo!!!! Is it because we are small??? Or is this bearism???? Do I need to go on strike???

This is a quandary isn't it??? (And a Cocoa strike is NOT a good idea!!)... But as a good team captain, I have a solution!! We will rotate the prize! The envelope was addressed just to me... because I'm the team captain... right! Sooo... the first rotation of the prize goes to Cocoa!!

Hooray!!! Oh, that all makes sense now!! Although... how come you ALWAYS get to be team captain?? Hmph.... Sizism.. that's why... and bearism... hmph!!! But I love my new pin!! Thanks Ajdin!!!
