ANYONE FOR TENNIS

just like the tennis stars.

It was my very good friend Helen's birthday recently. She decided to celebrate with Birthday Bear at Sunnybank Hotel. It was my turn to dress Birthday Bear for the occasion. Now we have been carrying on this tradition for quite a few years now and it is getting harder and harder to think of a new way to dress Birthday Bear to reflect the recipients personality. 

Now Helen plays tennis regularly, so Birthday Bear wants to have a game with her.

Helen was happy with her Birthday Bear. 

She said, " Yes,  yes,  you can come to tennis with me next week. Now stop nagging me and let me read the menu."

It was quiet for Saturday lunch at the hotel and we had excellent service and a nice meal. The best thing was the great company and the smile on Helen's face when she saw her Birthday Bear.

BIRTHDAY BEAR IS GLAD WE ARE BACK

Birthday Bear was very upset because we couldn't celebrate Helen's birthday back in August because some of us were away. However she was pleased to be out and about last week, celebrating Helen's Birthday at the Sunnybank Hotel. Helen is into making things, craft work, sewing, knitting and crochet. Mary dressed Birthday Bear and provided her with lots of craft items to keep her happy for months.

Helen checks out BB's work.

As usual we all had fun making fools of ourselves in the hotel.
