IN Which Bear Gets Ready for Town Meeting

"Well," sighed Bear. "That's that."

Bear had been working very hard. He found his tent, and brought it into town. He found his food supply (carefully stashed in a near-by mountain cave), but left it there until he could get set up in town.

Then he realized that, living in town, and town Humans having cupboards and shelves, he needed some cupboards and shelves. They could go beside his tent.

So he wandered back to one of his previous homes, and found his old friend Beaver. It was a very, very long trek. Having rejoiced at Bear's return, and having heard what Bear wanted, Beaver got busy and built some cupboards, with shelves on top. They worked by day, and partied at night — mostly telling stories of their adventures since Bear had moved on. What a time it was!

Getting the shelves made was the easy part. Getting them "from there to here" was a totally different matter.

But Bear, fortunately indefatigable, had persevered. First, he had found some saplings, which made runners on a sled. Then he hauled his cupboards and shelves across fields, through swamps, around towns, up hills and down, finally arriving at Blogland Lane.

So, with a little more work the tent was pitched in a favourable spot, the cupboard and shelves were safely located (with top and front covered with a tarp). Then, after all his travelling, Bear made one more trip. To the big cave, to retrieve his provision. Finally, his temporary home was ready. He was so excited! He was ready for whatever happened at Blogland Lane. He felt that he had been Humanized quite enough. Walking across the road to the lake, to enjoy a swim and maybe a fish, Bear saw the poster.

Blogland Lane Annual Town Meeting — beginning November 4, 2011.

Bear was thrilled! Then terrified. Finally a chance to meet the neighbours, if there are any. But would they feel comfortable with him? He hurried home after his swim (and fish lunch). He tidied up his shelves, his tent, his fire (putting on extra wood) and himself. He found some coffee, some tea, and some honey. "Tea with honey should be so inviting for any Humans around here," he thought. The preparations complete, Bear sat down on a log, to wait for visitors coming and going to the Town Meeting.

Some Proposals & A Tea Party!

Hello all the Bloglanders!!! I'm from the little nest at #602! How are you all...? I have been missing you guys...!

I have been searching for time to present some proposals for our sweet blog. And today I have managed the time! :)

Okay... my suggestions are as below:

1. I guess we need a magical theme for this blog. So I would like to shout loud for the designers... Who wants to design it for the sweet home of ours...?

2. It would be great if we place a little chat-box in our blog's sidebar... So everyone can shout loud there...! Even those who couldn't be in the list of 100 authors! What you say guys....?

3. I have many other things coming on and on in my mind... but I'm saving those for later... I guess these two should be done first!

What you say guys...?

And hey my neighbors... I have been drinking tea alone for last few days..... Have you forgot me...? There will be a tea party on tomorrow afternoon. Venue: Obviously the new wooden benches I have bought which I placed beside my sweet little pond! Hurry up guys...! I'm eagerly waiting to hear your footsteps!

This is a tea garden of Bangladesh.... & This is the place from where I collected tea leaves for tomorrow's party! :)

And this is what I'm going to serve you guys!!!

One of the new benches I have bought! Wouldn't this be comfortable enough? :)

Cheers guys...! Have a great day!
