I know you adults out there are not going to like this, but I finally did it.
Mom has not taken me anywhere for a long time, but she had some airline points. So I went on the computer and booked a trip to Cousin Hal’s House. This race car is so cool. Hal and Ling entered a Pine Box Derby. I wanted to ride in the car, but Hal wouldn’t let me. He’s already getting just like Mom. They still won third place, but if they’d let me drive, we would have won first place. Ling is coming over tonight. Cousin Hal, I call him Grandpa Hal, better let me do stuff….
Her name is Ling, and she was going to China. Isn’t she pretty? Grandpa Hal doesn’t know this yet, but….
Yup, you guessed it. I’m in a plane. And we are on our way to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, China. Danny, ole’ friend, I’m sorry I didn’t wait for you, but you gotta jump at opportunities when they’re opened up to you. And Ling’s purse was open, so…..
I love you everyone! See you in China! 🙂 Love, Manny 🙂
Manny's Adventures 
Oooh Manny!
Have a safe & fun trip. And – stay outta’ trouble! 😉
RoSy, come on. You’re talking to me, Manny. You know I’m a good bear! hehehe! Oh, right, except for running away! 🙂
Manny, how exciting. Justin Beaver and I are looking forward to hearing about all your adventures in China. Justin says he wants to know all about the food you eat. You know he loves his food. Mrs ET.
I know, and I’m hungry as a bear right now. I wish Ling would get me out of her purse! 🙂 Love Manny
You might have to do the bear thing and gnaw your way out.
Her purse doesn’t taste as good as the stuff Justin gets when he travels. I like caramel even if it’s messy. Doughnuts mmmm! 🙂
Oh Manny of course… while you have the opportunity…. go….I would too… but I need a rest now….. we did walk a lot. All the best and have fun in China…. enjoy and stay safe. I will be looking out for more info from you! Love Danny ♥
Hi Ute, As you can tell, it’s been forever since Manny wrote in his blog or even checked his mail. I hope you are doing well. I haven’t heard from Ralph since he showed a video of his hand shaking so badly he couldn’t do much of anything. Have a wonderful day. 🙂
Oh Manny, I hope you don’t have to grin and bear the purse too long and that it’s not too cold, being a bare bear. Enjoy your trip with lovely Ling! Love, Happy Notes.
Thank you Miss Happy. Ling was wonderful to me, but she didn’t have any doughnuts. I’m back home now, and I had apple pie and doughnuts for breakfast.
That sounds delicious!
They were. I especially like chocolate doughnuts. 🙂
