The boys arrive in Winnipeg..errr Calgary - yeah, that's it!

Arrived home from church, & mega shopping, to find the boys resting against my door, patiently waiting.
Of course our moose & bear hides kept them warm, but Dave's skin........ well, suffice to say he was not happy in -10 weather. I didn't think he Knew those words he shivered out LOL Even wrapped in bubble wrap and between the other boys (Thank you, Dorothy, for wrapping them just that way, so Dave was kept warm as he could be. Well, they're nice and toasty now.

As soon as I can, I'll post pics. We're off to the Choir Christmas sing-along tonight, and I'll take them with me. I'm sure they'll enjoy visiting with other Calgarians!

Here's a pic of the boys with the last of the gift baskets I've made - I'll distribute them tomorrow.

♫♪~§usan~♪♫

Great to see the troop made it safe and sound to Calgary and into the warmth of Susan's home. Hope the beautiful baskets were still all in one piece when you got back from the sing along !!!!

~M~

hahahaha they were, cuz they were up HIGH, and I'd taken the boys to another room. They couldn't reach 'em! ^_^
I've read enuff of their antics to be vewwwwwwwy careful!!

Clever girl Susan !!!!

Enjoy the visit :-)

And they came from SK - http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1063710/

Glad they arrived in Calgary.

Will post more pics tonight.
Spoke to Fancy (who gets them next) and I'll be passing them on to her on Sunday (I'll check her schedule to make sure) ^_^

♫♪~§usan~♪♫

that great cant wait to see the pics

Well, I took a few pics, and hope to take more over the ensuing days ^_^
Here's a pic of the boys (or is it one girl & 2 boys?....) with a pretty lady that Jaye (Heavenscape) sent me.
Here's what they said "If we didn't know better, we'd think we were in Japan - lovely place, not so cold!"

♫♪~§usan~♪♫

Bear climbed up into the pretty Christmas tree
"ouch - those piney needles are sharp"

Not to be outdone, Moose decides to climb Higher
They look adorable as decorations!
I'll bet when gnomes wanted to hide, that's what they did, long ago - hid in Christmas trees.........

While Bear & Moose play in the tree, Dave plays the piano - ♫Happy Days are Here Again♪♫

Bear finds another bear - a little cousin, perhaps?

No wonder this bear doesn't talk - he's busy holding a stocking for Santa! It's a solemn business helping Santa ^_^

"niters all - going to go watch a movie Susan calls 'the Christmas Shoes'. She recommends it, so we're going to see. More pics tomorrow from where Susan works! She says it's all decorated up!"

Susan - I think one girl and two boys is right. I contributed Jerome, Jr. who spent the past summer in my garden, He's just like Jerome of the original gnomes except smaller. Mona contributed the mounties and named them but I'm afraid I don't remember their names. So glad to see that they are having a good time with you.

I get by calling them the travelling trio (of trouble) LoL

Lovely pics Susan ..

Enjoy your day with them at work

o geeze yeah.......... Jerome is the gnome (rhymes, so I should remember LOL), Dave is the moose(?), and the lady bear..............Mona - help me out here LOL

♫♪~§usan~♪♫

Akkk .. someone named her 'posts ago' .. typically I can't remember !!!!

Am sure she doesn't mind though ^_^

"o boy, o boy, o girl.......... - it's off to Susan's office! (actually just a private corner, but we didn't want to hurt her feelings!!
Here we are, looking at the decorations - her MIL made the lit tree - out of safety pins and crystal beads! And a tiny string of lights is inside........ so pretty!"

~the Travelling Trio~

How about calling her Bertha the bear?

"Here's a pretty scene on her thingie she calls a computer..... dunno why....... I asked Susan what a computer does (can you play with it, eat it....... she says not), but she didn't know what we would do with it...."

"Jerome's looking for his Christmas card. Sure are a lot of 'em! No room for the others...."

"Dave's being so helpful holding down the pile of paperwork she Wishes she could get done today..... is Dave her new paperweight?"

Look at this! The quiet of an office must be having a good effect of the trio - they're peacefully watching me work! Maybe it was the threat of our Security guard coming for them that quietened them down?!?!?!

"Oh, and here's the Security Guard....... doesn't look scary, does she? Her name's Javaria, and she's coming for Turkey dinner on Saturday ^_^
All 5 of us had lunch together, which is where we got formally introduced!"

"We took a peek in the boardroom, and saw another pretty tree - has something called fibre optics on the branches........ dunno what they are, either"

My!!! You wee Canadian fellas are so well behaved....compared to our American Cedric here.
You all need to cross the border and help Cedric shake off his 'habits' ;)

Merry Christmas Dave, Jerome and Bertha!

awwwwwwww how sweet of you to visit, Jaye - and Cedric just may corrupt our wee travelling trio LOL
Maybe they behave cuz there's female among them, do ya think? lol

hmmmm warming up here. Still need gloves for being out for awhile, but I can pop in and off the deck without gloves.

well, cleaning up for our big dinner on the 26th - should get back at it!!
Ciao!!!

The original group didn't have a female and while they were mischievous, they never got into real trouble.

hahahah well things are different now

Well we arrived at another house and got out of our travel box and WOWSEERS - there be monsters here!

Maybe if we get up here the monsters wont get us.

Oops that didnt work.

Maybe if we swing with the angels??????????/

Dave says no way Im staying on solid ground - got my own angel!

Well seems like those monsters need feeding so we thought we would help.; Pretty wierd looking grub! Brown rocks and green strings and some stinky looking stuff from that tin and then some kind of white stuff like there is outside only its not cold.

We thought we would climb these mountains and see what is at the top.

Oh my doG its another monster - and this one licks not just sniffs!
We better get out of here before we are somebody's supper!

Maybe we will be safe in here cause there is a key on the door! Bet those monsters cant turn a key!
