Here is my best old mate, Ted Bear Esq. (lovingly known as Ted to me all the 65 years we have shared, so far!) It all began modestly enough with some photos of him for his story on Squidoo - 'A Little Known Aussie, Ted Bear Esq.', but do you think this was enough for this furry prima donna? No way! He beat his hairy chest for a bit, then demanded a full exposure of his ‘togetherness’ with all his friends. He would agree to one photo only of the Knitty Gritty Kids, growling that they had already had more than their fair share - this was his “moment in the sun”. (Actually, one of the photos in this next book shows just that… his beloved early morning sunbath in my Bathroom window). And then, more… MUCH more than this… he's demanding heavily expanded stories about his mates and his special friendships with them all.Truly… a Mother's work is never done!
