In Oct. Edward and I went to San Antonio to visit his Parents. We had a really nice time -I love them so much! While we were there Edward found his old teddybear he’d had when he was a baby out in the shed. It was dirty with holes and stuffing coming out, but I told him I would try to restore it. He was so nostalgic with the thing, everytime some stuffing would float out he’d catch it and poke it back inside, trying to keep "teddy" whole.
When we got home I just stuck "teddy" in the laundry room so I could figure out what to do with him later. Well somehow he got caught up in a blanket that I threw in the wash, and when I looked in the machine there were millions of little crumbly pieces of stuffing everywhere! I decided to bundle up the blanket and take it outside to shake. I don’t know if I was thinking it would all just blow away in the wind or dissolve or what, because when I was done there were little pieces of stuffing all over the back yard! It looked like it had snowed! I got a mental picture of Edward trying to pick up all the little pieces of his bear and put them back inside the little limp body and I panicked! I got the vacuum out and using the attachments I started vacuuming it all up. I saw the neighbors in the two story behind us watching me, I’m sure they were wondering why this crazy lady was vacuuming her grass! Anyway, all the evidence has been disposed of, and when I go visit my parents after Thanksgiving my mom said she’ll help me put new stuffing in "teddy" and sew him up. I always seem to make so much more work for myself!

The image of you vacuuming your grass made me laugh out loud. How do all these funny things happen to you? It's hilarious! Do you remember 'Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle'? I've been reading that book again and I think you were the one that introduced it to me in elementary school. It was a fun to read as ever.
You crack me up! Seriously! I think you have the funniest stories ever! I love it! I love you, Nancy. I'm glad you're my friend and you make me smile. :)
What a story to tell Nancy! I would be one of those neighbors wondering what you are doing with a vacuum in the grass. Thanks for the funny post you posted! It's great!
Ohh, poor teddy. =) This sounds like something that would happen to me. haha =) I'm glad that you will be able to repair him though. you are such a cute wife. =)
BTW: Sorry about the new moon comment, I thought that you had already read them all. =) But, now that you have read it what did you think?
Oh poor teddy! I hope he is made whole soon. I love your stories you are so funny!
you could just see if build a bear will shoot him up with some stuffing. I have seen that machine is pretty cool. you could even put some love in it too and make the teddy even more special. :o)
