Birthday magic

Greetings!!  Notice how I just happened to "slip" into one of R's blog posts on the "main" blog recently??  Well, I'm back here now ..... I don't mind, although I do think it lacks tack when they pull me over there when they NEED me and then push me back here again.

And actually "they" needed me again recently.  More magic!  Funny how they are coming to depend on it, isn't it?!  They were all trying to figure out how they could send a bear to Auntie Anne for her birthday, in a way that was both humane to the bear and didn't completely drain their USPS and UPS budget for the next five years ....

I instructed them to send this very small bear and a bottle of my super-deluxe magic powder (the PURPLE kind!!!)


All Auntie Anne needs to do is sprinkle a little bit of this powder on the little bear and .....


Vowlah!!!!!! ........

(And this is just a small bear .... if she's lucky she'll get one of the BIG ones we've seen here recently.)

.....Anne will have her very own bear looking in her windows!!

At least I think this is what will happen .... the powder sometimes has a mind of its own.  Maybe the tiny bear will grow very long hair.  Or become an even tinier bear.  Or turn into a very large bear with wings ..... Well, isn't that the real FUN of magic??!!!!

Best (beast?) wishes to Auntie Anne from the gang at Joe Pye Towers!!!
