We wrapped up our first week of school with a luncheon to honor our favorite bears from literature and elsewhere. We always look forward to this annual event. The kids gathered their stuffed bear friends and placed them around the table to join us. We were sad that Pooh and friends didn't survive the fire and we missed them terribly. Hopefully I can find replacements before the next event (and before the kids outgrow the novelty). I also missed Teddy Bear, my special bear with Teddy Roosevelt glasses who used to sit on my desk and watch me teach. We had a rather small group but we made merry anyway. Paddington was out visiting when the fire occurred so he was present to sit at the head of the table. Corduroy joined us for the first time this year, as did Master Shifu. He cheated his way in. You can't trust those kung fu types.
