Humphrey's Tales |
March 2014 |
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Humphrey and I was born in 1993 in Flagstaff, Arizona USA.
Currently living in Cottonwood, AZ, with my Mom and Dad, by the way of Florida and Hawaii; don't ask!
Explained through my stories?
Maybe....
You'll just have to follow my tales each month. |

PREPARING FOR VACATION |
|
The end of February I flew to Tampa, Florida to report on the activities at Bright Star's
Teddy Bear Show.
Reporting was the business part of my trip. The other
part was vacation time which I had earned as a reporter.
Now I'm sharing with you how I prepared for this new adventure!
|
|
My airline reservations were confirmed and after the teddy bear show we were going to stay with friends at a
resort in Orlando, Florida!
Staying close to Disney World and
Universal Studios, I'm ready to feel the 'magic'.
I have gathered some brochures so I
could research the park's activities.
Making decisions as to where I
will get the most 'magic' for my entrance fee. |
SURPRISE!
Mom said she would pay my entrance fee to the parks, BUT
if I wanted to buy anything special, I needed to pay for it myself.
I
really want an official Harry Potter magic wand.
I could earn extra money helping Mom do house chores.
Doing dishes is OK; but why am
I in the sink too?
|
|
|
Laundry is not my favorite chore. Especially folding the clothes.
Clothes, hot from the drier, sure smell good and take the chill off my fur.
Oh yes! I did get a little wet while washing the dishes!
|
I earned extra money by cooking.
Grocery shopping is wonderful especially if I do it alone because
I'll get my priority junk food.
Always some honey in my shopping cart.
|
|
|
Word got around that I was earning money for my trip.
I had some out-of-the-home jobs too.
Bear Sitting the neighbor's kids.
|
I received great references and better pay than Mom.
I'm now a
full-time storyteller.
No more dishes or laundry!
I reached my money goal and even have money to spare!
So, I went on-line and ordered a
Harry Potter outfit that fits me perfectly.
All that is missing is the 'official' Harry Potter wand.
|
|
|
Mom said I could
borrow her wand which is a replica of Hermione's wand but that wand only
works for girls.
Besides I now have my own money!
I plan to take Mom, Dad to lunch and perhaps Harry Potter too!
Mom made a tote bag with Harry and his friends on it. When I get tired I
will ride in it and it should hold all of my souvenirs too.
I'll carry
my wand.
|
I'm so excited about playing tourist but you know there is the blood of a
cub reporter within me.
I will share the 'MAGIC,' from both the bear show and my
vacation to Florida, in upcoming articles.
I need to finish packing before Mom takes up all the space in the suitcase.

Join me for another adventure next month! |
