On Stamps' last day in New Jersey, he came to work with me for a weight check. Last little detail before he gets ready for his next stop. He's off to stay with Jackie in England now. Bon voyage Stamps, we'll miss you!

Stamps Visits Delaware

On our last outing we took Stamps to our vacation home near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. He enjoyed his stay near the beach even though there was still snow on the ground. We visited Allison at Kitschy Stitch. Stamps really loved all the yarn there.






We went to see the Delaware Bay where the Cape May Ferry lands. Stamps found a few souvenirs at the gift shop. His collection is really growing!






And Stamps got to ride on a ferry just his size. I think he really enjoyed that a lot.



Stamps will be on his way to England this week to visit with Jackie. I hope she has as much fun with him as we did!

Stamps Goes to Manhattan

On February 13, we took Stamps to Manhattan for the day. We took the train to Penn Station and our first stop was the Main Post Office. Stamps is a postman after all.




It was a cold day but Stamps is very hardy so we walked up 8th Avenue to Lincoln Center. We did stop for a coffee on the way.





We had tickets for South Pacific, a beautiful show. Stamps got to pose with the cast.







After the show, we had dinner at Becco. Stamps really enjoyed the pasta! On the train ride back Stamps was very tired and just sat and read his PlayBill. But I thought I heard him humming "Some Enchanted Evening."

Stamps Has Arrived

Well, Stamps had an eventful journey on his way to New Jersey but he finally got here in one piece and seemed very happy to get out of his box.




One of the first people to greet Stamps was my grandson Evan who had a lot of questions. He was very impressed with Stamps' trip around the world.




Stamps accompanied me to my Saturday morning knitting group and was very smitten with Hillary or maybe he just liked her socks.






The next day, Stamps was invited to a birthday party. He got right in the spirit wearing a birthday hat and enjoying the Elmo cupcakes.






He also made a new friend who taught him the chicken dance.



Katie, Reese, and Olivia were quite smitten with Stamps.




The next week, all our plans were put on hold. We were caught in Snowmageddon! But Stamps was a real trooper, he borrowed a pair of boots and really helped us shovel our way out. I have to say he's one of the best house guests ever!

News

Stamps is now on his way to Susan in New Jersey. He got a bit lost but hopefully he should make it to her safe and sound.

Susan when you get him can you let me have your e-mail address via Ravelry and I'll organise for you to have access this this blog. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Stamps and my friend Maggie checking out a Beverly Hills Fire Dept. vehicle. I think Stamps secretly wanted a ride but the firemen were across the way having lunch.

Visiting Cartier and wishing we could actually afford something there!

Dress shopping at Versace?

Maggie and Stamps. Breakfast at Tiffany's maybe?

Or maybe a lovely new mail bag from Louis Vuitton?

Stamps and the (un)official Beverly Hills greeter.

Stamps visiting his colleagues at the Beverly Hills Post Office.

And then the Beverly Hills Police Dept.

Before heading home from Beverly Hills we made a quick stop at the famous original L.A. Farmer's Market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Farmers_Market

It's Halloween and Stamps decided to join in the fun. He dressed himself up as a scary mummy!
