This afternoon our host decided to go to the Salvation Army to look for teddy bears. She told us that there was a new TV named ThreadBear who was collecting teddy bears for children in South Africa. 

When she returned home she had a bag full of animals. She said that they needed a bath and a snack before they can be sent to South Africa. We asked if we could meet them. She said yes but told us not to be surprised if they didn't answer us. Boy was she wrong! We asked them questions and everyone was answering at the same time. We knew this was going to be tough. 

Our host asked us to pose together as it was time for the new animals to get a bath. Everyone seemed happy but that's because they have no idea what's going on. 

We wanted to see what it was like to get a wash and dry at our host's house. We wished everyone luck because we hear that dryers are known to eat socks.  Who knows what will happen to stuffed animals.  Our host promised that everyone who went in for a wash and dry would come back.

Okay so our host was right....No one was taken by the sock monsters in the dryer.  Too bad because it would have been a fun mystery.

Not a whole lot has been going on here lately. The weather has been terrible! Our host said she wanted to take us a couple of places but that she hasn't been able to because of the rain. We wanted to see for ourselves.  Our host was right, it's raining outside. So to keep us busy we decided to watch some DVD's. We couldn't agree on one title so we were going to watch 3 different ones.

To our surprise a new TV arrived today! We couldn't wait to see who it could be....It turned out to be Willy Wau! We all welcomed him and told him to make himself at home here. We all have! 

Today we said goodbye to Cliff. He was moving on to his next host on the USA TVT.

Good Luck Cliff! Have a safe journey!

We were surprised to learn that Grape Ape Was leaving today as well! He told us that he was on his way to South Africa. Wow, what a trip! We all wished him well and told him to have a safe trip. He assured us that he would. 

Good Bye Grape Ape!

This evening we took a ride over to New Hartford, NY because our host was looking for a cookbook to take with her tomorrow. First we stopped at Target to see if they had what she was looking for. It turned out that they didn't have what she was looking for so it was on to the next store. 

After Target we went to Wal-Mart to see if they had the cookbook our host was looking for. Again they didn't have it! Our host's husband said that we should go to the bookstore, but our host said that she was being cheap and didn't want to pay the high prices at the bookstore.  So we left to go one more place before heading home. At the intersection leaving Wal-Mart our host spotted a rainbow! She was hoping that she could get to the next shop before the rainbow disappeared. 

We made it just in time to see the rainbow from a different spot. It was beautiful! Our host couldn't believe how fast the sky went from blue and open to gray and cloudy. Maybe a storm was coming! 

Everyone was caught up with seeing the rainbow we had forgotten that we had one more shop to visit. We went to Toys R Us. Our host was looking for a Care Bear and other stuffed animals. Sadly she didn't find what she was looking for. Her husband told her that Care Bears aren't as popular as they used to be. She didn't want to hear it! It's back to our host's home for some dinner and rest. We've been told that tomorrow will be a busy an eventful day. 

This afternoon we went to the Turning Stone Casino as part of Michele's birthday gift. We were going to see Chef Tyler Florence! Our host told us that she has never been here before and that this is her second time ever going to a casino. It was a warm and beautiful day, what a shame that we would be spending it inside.

Our host tried to take as many pictures as she could but it was really dark and we were close to the back of the room. Never the less it smelled great in there! Tyler made grilled pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese, home made spaghetti and meatballs and panna cotta for dessert! Too bad we didn't get to try any.  For some reason only people in the front were able to sample his food. Oh well!

After the show was over Tyler signed some autographs, but only on his cookbooks. Our host was thrilled! She said this was the best birthday she's ever had. 

Today is our host's birthday! Her husband bought her a birthday cake with Care Bears on it. After dinner we posed by the cake then Michele said that we could each take a bite.  Some of us took bigger bites then others. It was sweet and delicious!
