Although it was Bill's Birthday last month our birthday bear group only celebrated now because both he and George have a birthday in the same week. So they take it turns to celebrate a month later. Readers not familiar with our Birthday Bear tradition can find out more here.
We celebrated at Sunnybank Hotel, Birthday Bear was dressed by Helen and Paul this time. When we arrived there was bear engrossed in his computer. This truly reflects Bill's hobby. He is a computer addict. Even when we go away he has to take his computer or he gets withdrawal symptoms. Now Birthday Bear has caught the bug and is looking at a blog on his computer. Bill has also taken a lens out of his glasses since his cataract operation He has to wait a month before he can get new prescription glasses. Bear has got the same problem.
Sporting a cap similar to one Bill has, Bear can't be distracted. He also has a DVD on trains to play. Trains are another one of Bill's passions.
Of course Bear has to have an Apple computer like Bill.
Unfortunately our group photo enjoying a delicious lunch didn't turn out well. I had fish but others had steak with a lobster tail. Bear like that one best. After a fun time with our friends we took Bear home.
Now Bear is home with us and still I can't get him away from the computer. I like his cute sandals similar to ones Bill wears.
Bear has let his white beard grow so he can look similar to his computer buddy. The logo on Bear's shirt is the same as Bill's company shirt.
i like all the little details that make bear just like Bill and Bill is my kind of person. computers and trains. we would like each other
ReplyDeleteComputers and trains. Who would have thought. Another good effort by decorators of Birthday Bear.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what Birthdaty Bear is up to. What fun details someone went to all the trouble of duplicating. Happy birthday + 1 month, Bill!
ReplyDeletetoo cute and clever. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Bill, the bear looks very simular as him.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Bill! And Bear!
ReplyDeleteLove the beard! Happy Birthday to Bill. Birthday Bear has good taste in computers.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Chuckle
ReplyDeleteyou must have a lot of fun conjuring up the image for each birthday, no doubt you work with these ideas for months ahead too. The glasses idea was a great pickup; well done and belated birthday wishes to Bill
ReplyDeleteHappy belated to your Bill. Very cute representation.
ReplyDeleteYou guys go the distance for birthdays and you know the birthday people so well that "bear" can really mimic them. Good fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch attention to detail. Maybe you could write a children's book about Birthday Bear. I'm sure it would be a best seller.
ReplyDeleteI like Bill's birthday bear..Not sure if I already wished Bill but this is a really.... belated Happy Birthday Bill!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your husband.
ReplyDeleteBirthday Bear is looking like your husband.
Dare I say Bear is very clever and friendly, just like Bill - at least when he puts the screen away for a time.

You guys have so much fun with Birthday Bear, he makes every occasion more special, a reward for those who put so much time and thought into his outfits.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Bill, a bit late :). Birthday bear is a hoot! Love that beard!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if Birthday Bear was perfectly dressed for Bill's celebration. I think Birthday Bear is a wonderful way to celebrate with friends. And although it's late, I hope Bill had a fantastic birthday.

ReplyDeleteI really do like seeing Birthday Bear and how he is dressed for each person's birthday
ReplyDeleteHappy [belated] birthday Bill! Is his bd in Feb? I love BB (this being Birthday Bear) in front of the laptop. I can relate to Bill not going anywhere without his laptop. I only don't take mine when we're biking. Great post as always. xxx
