grin and bear it.
i have no idea, no idea at all what got into me with the bears today. i think it may have had something to do with the rad bear bottle opener (below) which started this whole round up of brown fuzzies…but here you have it. are bears the new owl? or squirrel? no idea, but there’s a lot of them, out of hibernation right now. enjoy it, or completely dismiss it, or think, “oh my, but she’s rather absurd today”. me? i’m just going to grin, and bear it.

My first fascination with bears came from watching Dancing Bear on Captain Kangaroo.:)And the bears in the window case in Lake Tahoe back in the 60′s. They still are all over in displays which is fascinating to me given our pc awareness. There is a fun bar in Port Costa with a bear in a glass case too. Love the MM image.
Love all the bears:)
Beware the bear! Love ‘em. I have a wooden one I purchased many years ago at a garage sale and love him!
Great stuff!

Wow, I love this post. If I were an animal I would be a bear for sure!

I love bears. They’re fascinating. And I love this too.
The sleeping bag is so great!
Growing up, my mother was terrified of bears and even a decorative version filled her with dread.
