Living, locked away in a hope chest, mementos of the past, with secrets known only to their owners. Safe in this place until this day, when a little girl, named Julia, claims a raggedy old stuffed bear.
“That belonged to my dad, “Grampy” Julia’s mom said. “Maybe you should ask him about the bear tonight, he’s going to babysit for you.”
This evening, Julia would hear the name of her bear, and a grandfather, would begin to reveal the Adventures of BJ Moon his old old friend, and partner of the youngest at heart.

Rest In Peace, Sweet Camelot
THE HURRICANE "In the 1940’s many US distilleries were used to manufacture necessities for war time, and domestic liquor was scarce. However, Rum coming up the Mississippi river from the Caribbean islands was plentiful. In order to buy a case of Bourbon, for example, there was strong incentive to purchase large quantities of rum. With General manager George Oechsner Jr at the helm, the folks in the bar experimented with recipes, and eventually everyone agreed that passion fruit was a hit! A glass shaped like a hurricane lamp was the perfect vessel and the Hurricane drink became New Orleans favorite libation."

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)

It, the idea of bringing to life a raggedy old stuffed bear, has been floating around in my brain and my heart for some time. I think writing a few BJ Bear stories, one is all but done, might be enjoyed by young children to hear and read. They'll never know that BJM was a young woman twenty years younger and friend of my oldest daughter that I fell in love with, she had a less than 6-month-old baby girl, and I volunteered to babysit just to see her, if only for a few minutes. Nothing ever happened, but lingering still are the feelings. Combined with my own memories, these stories will be an amalgam of positive things I have observed and enjoyed for my 76 years. Oddly, my response to you was way over 100 words, lol.
I can see this as a series of adventure stories of the old stuffed bear 🥰
