Isn’t it funny how a bear needs hunny…
absolute childhood. I have the originals of these A. A. Milnes.
happy valentine’s day Rodger & good to see you writing up an absolute storm too.
remember the one in which Pooh decides to float (disguising himself like a cloud) with a balloon?
or the one where he got stuck in the doorway (I think it was Rabbits place)…
LOL!
xxoo!
from me……………………………………….!

Happy V Day … Valentine.

Speaking of valentines, Rodger, I ran into Donna Barstow tonight.
FWIW, we get along just fine. I’ve run into her a handful of times since Seipp’s funeral, usually at the LA Press Club, which is quite in the neighborhood for me. I told Miss Barstow you were blogging from Vegas. She seemed—indifferent, but still filled with a little emotion. But we both professed to missing my own occasional valentine Cathy Seipp in the local milieu.
Glad you liked the foto of me with Lisa Exit’s cat MieMies. I had it taken because another darling cat in my life, Izzy, of Hermosa Beach, forgot my birthday, and she usually remembers it. I’m trying to show her how forlorn I am; trying to make her jealous too. I’ll be sending the photo to her owner if Izzy doesn’t come through with a valentine.

Well, I guess the less said about Donna “All Illegals Are Stupid” Barstow the better. Seipp’s online column certainly was good, in the comments section, for compelling people to shed their skin and reveal who they really are, for better, but mostly, for worse. For that reason alone she made a valuable contribution to the often-heated political blogosphere.
But enough about the late Ms. Seipp.
Cool Pooh illustration from the Milne books, eh, kids? Sure brings back memories for me. As a kid, first “serious” book I ever read: “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White, followed by some of the Pooh books.

I read “Charlotte’s Web” to my daughter last year because I wanted to make sure she was familiar with the book before we saw the movie. She loved it so much we read it through a second time. I think I may love Milne more than her, though, even if I did give her my boxed set of all the books.
Not so much luck with Paddington, though.

Nice pic. Interesting to see the old Milne books as compared to, say the brand new Winnie the Pooh with an American girl and adventures and such.
