Guess who I met today?

I decided to take the train to London today to see a young friend and her mother. The train from Worcester goes into Paddington Station. When I got off the train, I began to look for transportation to go to my friend's flat and GUESS WHAT I SAW? A bear with a red hat and a little blue jacket with toggles - not buttons. He had a note tied to his coat, "Please take me to a good home." The bear was from deepest darkest Peru. I just could not leave him in Paddington Rail Road Station ... so I took him to Imogen so that she could care for him. Here you can see Imogen caring for her new bear. Little did I know that her parents had wanted to get a special bear for her!  We had a wonderful time playing with her new bear!
