A new story of three bears

We recently hired a contractor, Doug (who is also a neighbor), to do some things like extra caulking outside and in and to (maybe) repair a faucet in the kitchen. He did all that in good time and for a reasonable charge. When he came to do the work, he brought along these cute bears. Well, the white one was cute, the other two were not at all assembled, just arms, legs and unattached heads with no eyes rolling around in a box. His wife's aunt used to make these bears, but when she died there were two left in a state of disassembly. Doug's wife does not sew at all, so he was hoping Anne could bring these bears to "life" so the white one would have some company. Anne, of course, could do this job with no problem. The photo is of the three getting acquainted on the couch. Anne called Doug to tell him that he should come pick them up because they are having too much fun over here.

Those bears look so cute. My son wanted a special hat for a friend. It's some cartoon character hat with rabbit ears. My sister-in-law whipped it up in no time as I can't sew either - not enough to make a hat anyway. In return I have to make her a cake. I'm nearly as bad at baking as I am at sewing! They are coming for lunch today so I'm cheating and making an apple cake for dessert. I know I can pull that off.

@JamesHxstatic It's mostly eaten now and was very nice. I made two chocolate cakes before the apple cake but they are both pretty awful. They might just be edible if I put enough icing on them but I'll have to eat them as they're not good for Vince and not good enough for visitors.

That's wonderful that Anne could finish those other bears. My grandma use to make Teddy Bears and we played with them for many years!

I am not sure what Doug has in mind for these bears. I hope they like it.

These bears are so cute. They remind me of our stuffed bear at home. He is my son's favorite toy and he keeps it when we go to have a travel

Anne, did a great job. They look good and so glad the white one now has friends to be with and not alone.

The owners do't get back to town until tomorrow. We may hold them for ransom.
