This Friday October 14th, my brother will be turning sixty. In preparation for his landmark in time, this summer when we were up in the Berkshires attending a beautiful blessed event of our friends son's wedding, there was time the next day to mosey around some of the unique, & quaint towns up in the mountains, & of course there it was~ the cutest, sweetest, & perhaps oldest teddy, I had ever had the pleasure to contemplate buying, at an antique shop, which was going out of business due to the poor economic situation that has been ravaging our country, to this very date.

I so enjoyed the visit to your "Autumn Garden" Cheryl. I loved your lovely Colorful Mums in those small delicate Pots... and the oldest Teddy Bear was a Treat to see. I too remember fondly, "A Child's Garden of Verses", by Robert Lewis Stevenson. You Poem was Wonderful, looking through the eyes of a child and a grownup...do we ever really grow up? God, I hope not! LOL, b. Malin
